Downscaled climate projections, particularly of wind speed and direction, are highly valuable to local and regional planners. Despite many advances in the work of machine learning based climate variable downscaling, the impacts of multivariate data and topography variables have not kept pace with recent innovations in architecture. Our work combines the latest in downscaling architectures with a multivariate and topographic focus to address the complex relationships of wind with local topography.
