Accurate modeling of physical systems governed by partial differential equations is a central challenge in scientific computing. In oceanogr… (see more)aphy, high-resolution current data are critical for coastal management, environmental monitoring, and maritime safety. However, available satellite products, such as Copernicus data for sea water velocity at ~0.08 degrees spatial resolution and global ocean models, often lack the spatial granularity required for detailed local analyses. In this work, we (a) introduce a supervised deep learning framework based on neural operators for solving PDEs and providing arbitrary resolution solutions, and (b) propose downscaling models with an application to Copernicus ocean current data. Additionally, our method can model surrogate PDEs and predict solutions at arbitrary resolution, regardless of the input resolution. We evaluated our model on real-world Copernicus ocean current data and synthetic Navier-Stokes simulation datasets.

Mastery of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the realm of photovoltaic solar power plants is pivotal for evaluating their effectiveness a… (see more)nd fine-tuning their operational efficiency. The assessment of these plants' performance has con-sistently stood as a focal point in scientific research. Nevertheless, the investigation into the process of selecting a framework for classifying KPIs, particularly through their categorization based on criteria, sub-criteria, or aspects, has been relatively limited in research. This article addresses this gap by conducting a comprehensive literature review on various KPIs and, drawing upon both literature and practical experience, formulating a set of criteria to serve as the foundation for a Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) method. This intricate taxonomic framework enhances the understanding of infrastructure performance for stakeholders in the solar industry. By streamlining decision-making, it simplifies the selection of KPIs tailored to specific requirements, thus mitigating the complexity arising from the abundance of KPIs in the literature. As a result, decision-makers can make well-informed choices regarding the monitoring and evaluation framework that best suits the performance goals of their solar plant.
