WGAN-GP-Based Conditional GAN (cGAN) With Extreme Critic for Precipitation Downscaling in a Key Agricultural Region of the Northeastern U.S. by Jangho Lee, Sun Young Park

“…This study develops a conditional Generative Adversarial Network with a multi-head Critic (cGAN_ext), under a Wasserstein GAN with gradient penalty (WGAN-GP) framework, to downscale coarse-resolution meteorological data into high-resolution precipitation fields. The model’s U-Net Generator combines large-scale atmospheric inputs—2 m temperature, total column water vapor, mean sea-level pressure, and downsampled precipitation—with a noise tensor, while the Critic enforces adversarial constraints and explicitly classifies extreme events. …”
