TL;DR

Generative REconstruction (GRE) is introduced, a 5 sequential assimilation framework that replaces prescribed covariances with a generative prior learned from satellite-era grid-ded fields that encodes multivariate spatial structure including heavy-tailed extremes.

DIRECT 1.0: a diffusion-based generative model for dense sea surface temperature reconstructions from sparse satellite observations

DI, a conditional generative framework for dense SST reconstruction that models the full distribution of plausible solutions rather than a single deterministic estimate, is introduced, enabling reliable SST reconstruction from sparse satellite observations.

Steering Diffusion Priors with Sparse Observations for High-Resolution Temperature Downscaling

Local heatwave hazard depends on fine-scale air temperature, but ground stations are sparse and reanalysis products such as ERA5 cannot resolve the terrain and land-surface contrasts that shape real heat exposure. We present a conditional diffusion emulator for high-resolution 2-m temperature downscaling, conditioned o...

Generative Atmospheric Super-Resolution from Heterogeneous In Situ Observations through Composable Interfaces

This work forms this reconstruction problem as generative atmospheric super-resolution and introduces composable observation interfaces for conditioning a single pretrained 13-variable atmospheric diffusion model without retraining the underlying model.

Precipitation Downscaling Using Foundation Model-Conditioned Diffusion

Results indicate that cross-attention conditioning offers advantages over simple concatenation for probabilistic precipitation downscaling, and that pre-trained foundation model representations may offer benefits in data-limited settings.

Diffusion-Based Refinement for Kilometer-Scale Probabilistic Precipitation Nowcasting

Localized extreme precipitation is a major trigger of urban flash floods and landslides, yet producing nowcasts that combine fine spatial detail with probabilistic uncertainty remains challenging. Here we introduce exPreCast-ENS, a conditional residual diffusion framework that transforms the deterministic 4 km radar no...

Tropical Cyclone Forecasting via Latent Rectified Flow using Satellite Imagery and Atmospheric Fields

This work presents a single-pass model that jointly forecasts GRIDSAT-B1 infrared imagery and four ERA5 atmospheric fields out to nine hours and reward-fine-tuned against a differentiable track error derived from the predicted winds through a steering-flow calculation.
