Deep Learning-Based Statistical Downscaling of Sea Surface Temperature Using a Residual Corrective Neural Network

This study proposes a novel deep learning framework that uses a U-Net to generate an initial high-resolution SST estimate, which is subsequently refined using a residual corrective approach, and progressively refines initial U-Net predictions by incorporating dynamically scaled residuals at each step, enabling accurate...
