RainAtlas: A Multi-Continental Dataset for Precipitation Downscaling

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.39833v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Extreme rainfall events are increasing in intensity and frequency as climate change accelerates. While kilometer-scale precipitation forecasts are critical for supporting local decision-making, the limited availability of high-resolution precipitation observations hinders their accuracy, especially in under-resourced regions. Machine learning models are widely used to downscale precipitation data to km-scale, but their application to unseen geograp
