Benchmarking Generative Models for Weather Data Assimilation on Real Station Observations

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.

Incomplete Observations Boost Evolutionary Performance in Ocean Modeling

arXiv:2607. 19147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven methods have revolutionized ocean modeling, yet current approaches rely heavily on complete reanalysis datasets, imposing computational constraints and limiting model performance to that of the training data.

WindINR: Latent-State INR for Fast Local Wind Query and Correction in Complex Terrain

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.
