RoughNet: Mapping Arctic Sea Ice Roughness Using Diffusion-Based Super-Resolution of Satellite Imagery
Tessa Cannon, Michel Tsamados, Petru Manescu, Thomas Newman, Christian Haas, Veit Helm, et al.
Accurate estimation of landfast sea ice roughness is critical for climate modeling and safe Arctic over-ice travel, yet existing approaches rely on costly airborne surveys or sparse in-situ measurements, limiting spatial coverage and operational scalability. Here we show that hig…
