Space-borne satellite radiometers measure Sea Surface Temperature (SST), which is pivotal to studies of air-sea interactions and ocean features. Under clear sky conditions, high resolution measurements are obtainable. But under cloudy conditions, data analysis is constrained to the available low resolution measurements. We assess the efficiency of Deep Learning (DL) architectures, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to downscale oceanographic data from low spatial resolution (SR) to high SR. With a focus on SST Fields of Bay of Bengal, this study proves that Very Deep Super Resolution CNN can successfully reconstruct SST observations from 15 km SR to 5km SR, and 5km SR to 1km SR. This outcome calls attention to the significance of DL models explicitly trained for the reconstruction of high SR SST fields by using low SR data. Inference on DL models can act as a substitute to the existing computationally expensive downscaling technique: Dynamical Downsampling. The complete code is available on this Github Repository.

Elevation Model

The digital elevation model (DEM) is known as one kind of the most significant fundamental geographical data models. The theory, method and application of DEM are hot research issues in geography, especially in geomorphology, hydrology, soil and other related fields. In this paper, we improve the efficient sub-pixel convolutional neural networks (ESPCN) and propose recursive sub-pixel convolutional neural networks (RSPCN) to generate higher-resolution DEMs (HRDEMs) from low-resolution DEMs (LRDEMs). Firstly, the structure of RSPCN is described in detail based on recursion theory. This paper explores the effects of different training datasets, with the self-adaptive learning rate Adam algorithm optimizing the model. Furthermore, the adding-“zero” boundary method is introduced into the RSPCN algorithm as a data preprocessing method, which improves the RSPCN method’s accuracy and convergence. Extensive experiments are conducted to train the method till optimality. Finally, comparisons are made with other traditional interpolation methods, such as bicubic, nearest-neighbor and bilinear methods. The results show that our method has obvious improvements in both accuracy and robustness and further illustrate the feasibility of deep learning methods in the DEM data processing area.
