Overview

About

Maintained by Mika SipiläCRAN page ↗

The aim of the spatial downscaling is to increase the spatial resolution of the gridded geospatial input data. This package contains two deep learning based spatial downscaling methods, super-resolution deep residual network (SRDRN) (Wang et al., 2021 doi:10.1029/2020WR029308) and UNet (Ronneberger et al., 2015 doi:10.1007/978-3-319-24574-4_28), along with a statistical baseline method bias correction and spatial disaggregation (Wood et al., 2004 doi:10.1023/B:CLIM.0000013685.99609.9e). The SRDRN and UNet methods are implemented to optionally account for cyclical temporal patterns in case of spatio-temporal data. For more details of the methods, see Sipilä et al. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2512.13753.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("SpatialDownscaling", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-spatialdownscaling

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-SpatialDownscaling

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-SpatialDownscaling

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
