arXiv:2611.13359v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Wind profiles in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) drive short-range forecasting and wind-energy siting, yet sparse radiosonde coverage forces practitioners to interpolate them from a handful of physical predictors. We benchmark modern tabular learners against analytical parameterizations on 158,097 IGRA soundings. CatBoost, TabM, and FT-Transformer reduce RMSE to 1.3-1.6 m/s, against approximately 3 m/s for power-law and Monin-Obukhov fits; once the predictor set is fixed the three architectures differ by less than 0.05 m/s, so accuracy is driven by predictors rather than architecture. A cohort analysis of within-bin profile dispersion places an empirical floor of approximately 1.77 m/s on any point-wise predictor that uses standard radiosonde features, consistent with prior eddy-viscosity inversions. A one-dimensional Fourier Neural Operator applied as a post-hoc corrector to frozen tabular predictions reduces near-surface RMSE on U.S. stations from 1.5 to 1.2 m/s, while leaving upper-layer error unchanged. Further gains should come from new predictors rather than larger models.
