Statistical versus machine learning-based spatial interpolation of post-processed ensemble weather forecasts

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 7, 2026 · UTC

Statistical post-processing improves ensemble weather forecasts, but generating calibrated predictions at locations without observations remains challenging. This study compares statistical and machine-learning-based methods for post-processing ECMWF 2-m temperature and 10-m wind speed forecasts at observed and unobserved stations in Germany. We consider EMOS-based approaches, distributional regression networks, Transformers, and graph neural networks under both limited and extended predictor settings. For temperature, we also investigate linear forecast combinations and propose an altitude-aw
