Geographically Weighted Area-to-Point Regression Kriging for Spatial Downscaling in Remote Sensing [PDF]
Spatial downscaling of remotely sensed products is one of the main ways to obtain earth observations at fine resolution. Area-to-point (ATP) geostatistical techniques, in which regular fine grids of remote sensing products are regarded as points, have ...

Spatial downscaling of precipitation using adaptable random forests [PDF]
This paper introduces Prec-DWARF (Precipitation Downscaling With Adaptable Random Forests), a novel machine-learning based method for statistical downscaling of precipitation. Prec-DWARF sets up a nonlinear relationship between precipitation at fine resolution and covariates at coarse/fine resolution, based on the advanced binary tree method known as ...

A spectral method for spatial downscaling. [PDF]
SummaryComplex computer models play a crucial role in air quality research. These models are used to evaluate potential regulatory impacts of emission control strategies and to estimate air quality in areas without monitoring data. For both of these purposes, it is important to calibrate model output with monitoring data to adjust for model biases and ...

Spatial downscaling of multivariate disease risk. [PDF]
Abstract Downscaling areal health data to a finer resolution is important for understanding the intricate spatial patterns of disease. It helps to identify shared risk factors and to develop targeted public health interventions. This paper introduces Area-to-Area (ATA) and Area-to-Point (ATP) Poisson cokriging for downscaling spatial ...
