contents Oceanic processes at fine scales are crucial yet difficult to observe accurately due to limitations in satellite and in-situ measurements. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission provides high-resolution Sea Surface Height (SSH) data, though noise patterns often obscure fine scale structures. Current methods struggle with noisy data or require extensive supervised training, limiting their effectiveness on real-world observations. We introduce SIMPGEN (Simulation-Informed Metric and Prior for Generative Ensemble Networks), an unsupervised adversarial learning framework combining real SWOT observations with simulated reference data. SIMPGEN leverages wavelet-informed neural metrics to distinguish noisy from clean fields, guiding realistic SSH reconstructions. Applied to SWOT data, SIMPGEN effectively removes noise, preserving fine-scale features better than existing neural methods. This robust, unsupervised approach not only improves SWOT SSH data interpretation but also demonstrates strong potential for broader oceanographic applications, including data assimilation and super-resolution.
