arXiv:2604. 09041v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: AI-based weather forecasting now rivals traditional physics-based ensembles, but state-of-the-art (SOTA) models rely on specialized architectures and massive computational budgets, creating a high barrier to entry.

The paper introduces SCROLL, a method for forecasting multiple observables in stochastic dynamical systems by composing each observable’s likelihood into per‑task free‑routed last‑layer beliefs on a shared backbone. This approach learns unit‑dependent loss scaling directly from data, enabling accurate predictive variance estimation without separate tuning. Experiments on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck process, stochastic Lorenz‑63, and real air‑quality data show that SCROLL recovers analytic kernels, achieves superior negative log‑likelihood on state and regime tasks, and maintains calibration while reducing hyper‑parameter search costs.
State-of-the-art medium-range AI weather models can outperform traditional Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) but require massive training budgets. This restricts usage for under-resourced groups and severely limits fast model iteration.
arXiv:2606. 30821v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Probabilistic downscaling is the task of modeling the conditional distribution of high-resolution fields given coarse inputs, and is a central challenge to atmospheric science, climate modeling, and other multiscale physical systems.
