This study introduces the first controlled benchmark of generative models for weather data assimilation using real station observations from 11,849 NOAA MADIS stations across the U.S. It evaluates key design choices—diffusion vs. flow matching, pixel vs. latent-space formulations, and inference-time conditioning strategies—against a classical 3D-Var baseline. The benchmark finds that learned generative priors and full-gradient guidance improve RMSE over ERA5, while other design variations offer minimal benefit, especially under sparse observation conditions.

WindINR is a latent‑state implicit neural representation that enables fast, continuous high‑resolution local wind queries and corrections in complex terrain using sparse observations. It decouples reusable representation learning from sample‑specific latent correction, training a privileged encoder to infer latent states from high‑resolution data and a deployable predictor to estimate initial states from inference‑time inputs. During inference, only the low‑dimensional latent state is updated via a regularized objective, yielding a 14‑fold speedup over full‑network fine‑tuning while maintaining continuous spatial queries.
