Not quite the question you are asking, but related nonetheless rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Improving vertical detail in simulated temperature and humidity data using machine learning
There are atmospheric phenomena that occur on scales smaller than the thickness of model layers. The formation of low-level clouds due to temperature inversions is an example. Using radiosonde observ....
