Sample dataset for the models trained and tested in the paper 'Can AI be enabled to dynamical downscaling? Training a Latent Diffusion Model to mimic km-scale COSMO-CLM downscaling of ERA5 over Italy'

<p>This repository contains a sample of the input data for the models of the <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2406.13627">preprint</a> "Can AI be enabled to dynamical downscaling? Training a Latent Diffusion Model to mimic km-scale COSMO-CLM downscaling of ERA5 over Italy". It allows the user to test and train the models on a reduced dataset (45GB).</p> <p>This sample dataset comprises ~3 years of normalized hourly data for both low-resolution predictors and high-resolution target variables. Data has been randomly picked from the whole dataset, from 2000 to 2020, with 70% of data coming from the original training dataset, 15% from the original validation dataset, and 15% from the original test dataset. Low-resolution data are preprocessed ERA5 data while high-resolution data are preprocessed VHR-REA CMCC data. Details on the performed preprocessing are available in the paper.</p> <p>This sample dataset also includes files relative to metadata, static data, normalization, and plotting.</p> <p>To use the data, clone the corresponding <a href="https://github.com/DSIP-FBK/DiffScaler">repository</a> and unzip this zip file in the data folder.</p>
