The paper introduces SCOPE, a method for reconstructing high‑resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) from coarser‑resolution training pairs. SCOPE learns a continuous terrain representation by predicting a latent coefficient field on a low‑resolution grid and reusing local Fourier residual functions, thereby decoupling coefficient prediction from output‑grid construction. Experiments on diverse land–ocean datasets show that SCOPE outperforms competing methods across six metrics, reduces reconstruction error by about 12 % at three‑times‑unseen scale, and achieves these gains with only a modest increase in computational cost.

Cryo-Bench is a new benchmark that evaluates foundation models for cryosphere mapping, comprising six semantic‑segmentation datasets across five cryospheric components (supraglacial debris, glacial lakes, sea ice, calving fronts, and Antarctic ice‑shelf extent). The benchmark includes multispectral, RGB, and SAR observations from under‑represented regions and tests thirteen geo‑foundation models alongside U‑Net and Vision Transformer baselines. Results show that with frozen encoders U‑Net slightly outperforms TerraMind, but the difference is not statistically significant; fine‑tuning with learning‑rate optimization can dramatically improve performance for some models, while in few‑shot scenarios several foundation models retain over 90 % of their full‑label accuracy.
The paper introduces Nested‑EAGLE, a 0.25° global weather model with a 6 km refinement over the contiguous United States, designed to merge short‑ and medium‑range forecasts into a single system. It shows lower mean‑squared error for near‑surface and low‑level variables over the U.S. compared to NOAA’s GFS and HRRR, while remaining competitive globally. Although precipitation forecasts are less skillful than HRRR’s deterministic training, Nested‑EAGLE delivers the most accurate storm‑location predictions at longer lead times, with blurred extrema.
