SolarFlowRefiner: Refinement-Aware Flow Matching for Surface Solar Radiation Downscaling

SolarFlowRefiner is a refinement‑aware flow‑matching framework designed to downscale high‑resolution surface solar radiation (SSR) fields from coarse ERA5 radiative variables and satellite channels. It first uses a conditional FlowMatch generator to predict a normalized correction to an upsampled ERA5 baseline, then trains a refiner on prediction‑conditioned states between the generator’s output and the target residual, exposing the refiner to the generator’s structured errors. The refinement objective is backpropagated through the FlowMatch sampler, enabling joint optimization of generation and correction, and experiments on an ERA5–SolarCube benchmark demonstrate consistent improvements over standalone generation and post‑hoc refinement.
