Temporal Bridges for Spatial Resolution: Enhancing Climate Data Super-Resolution with Bidirectional Alignment
High-resolution climate data is crucial for meteorological predictions and for informing decision support across diverse domains. However, the acquisition of such high-resolution climate information is often prohibitively costly, necessitating the development of data-driven meteorological prediction models. These models aim to generate fine-grained climate data from low-resolution inputs, a process termed climate data super-resolution (SR). Nevertheless, recent advancements in deep learning for climate data SR have primarily focused on leveraging single-frame spatial information, largely neglecting the temporal correlations between different time frames that could enhance SR outcomes. Furthermore, climate data are inherently stochastic and noisy, rendering widely used temporal alignment methods, such as optical flow models, ineffective in this context. Consequently, the development of a framework tailored for climate data SR that effectively captures implicit temporal correlations remains an unresolved challenge. To this end, we propose a novel Temporal-Enhanced framework with bidirectional temporal alignment. In essence, our framework establishes a temporal bridge to enhance spatial resolution in climate data SR through bidirectional alignment, leading to improved SR performance. Within this framework, Paired Latent Mapping achieves spatial alignment and noise reduction by unifying latent spaces. Then a Bidirectional Temporal Alignment captures temporal correlations by training forward and backward networks on consecutive latent frames. Temporal Enhanced Super-resolution then optimizes the entire framework for climate data SR. Experiments on large-scale real-world datasets demonstrated the superior performance of our framework.
