overall outperforms LS, QDM, and CU-net in
correcting spatial and temporal biases in
REMO2015’s surface air temperature simulations.
Future work could explore further adjustments to
the CE-MS-Unet structure, such as integrating
attention mechanisms, designing more sophisticated
methods for calendar data fusion, and enhancing the
model's bias correction performance in the Tibetan
Plateau. Ablation studies could also be conducted to
improve the model's interpretability. Additionally,
testing CE-MS-Unet's performance in CORDEX
experiments outside East Asia would help validate its
generalization and applicability.
