Short summary
This study evaluates deep generative diffusion models for downscaling sea surface salinity in the Gulf Stream. Using a reanalysis dataset as a controlled framework, it assesses the added value of high-resolution sea surface temperature and sea surface height as auxiliary constraints. The results show that diffusion-based reconstructions preserve plausible fine-scale variability, highlighting the method’s potential for future applications to satellite products.
