Model Overview
DLWP-CS employs cubed-sphere convolutional neural networks for global weather forecasting, mitigating the geometric distortions that conventional latitude-longitude grids suffer near the poles.
Paper: Improving Data-Driven Global Weather Prediction Using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks on a Cubed Sphere
https://doi.org/10.1029/2020MS002109
Model Description
This directory provides an independent PyTorch structural smoke implementation based on the paper and official code, featuring cubed-sphere cross-face padding, convolutions, a simplified U-Net, capped leaky ReLU, and autoregressive inference. It is not a reproduction of the paper's experimental architecture or ERA5 training.
Use Cases
| Scenario | Description |
|---|---|
| Cubed-Sphere Architecture Research | Verify six-face adjacency, flipping, and convolution. |
| Local Rapid Verification | Run training and rollout with fake data. |
| ERA5 Global Weather Forecasting | Subsequently interface with ERA5 data processed via Tempest-Remap. |

Download the Model Package
hf download --model OneScience-Group/DLWP-CS --local-dir ./DLWP-CS
cd DLWP-CS
Set Up the Runtime Environment
DCU Environment
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y
conda activate onescience311
pip install onescience[earth-dcu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai
GPU Environment
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y libstdcxx-ng=12 libgcc-ng=12 gcc_linux-64=12 gxx_linux-64=12
conda activate onescience311
pip install onescience[earth-gpu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai
Data
The default training uses a deterministic fake Dataset from model/dataset.py and requires no additional download; each sample has shape [C,6,H,W], and the validation set uses an independent seed.
Training
python scripts/train.py
The script performs multi-epoch training, validation, learning rate scheduling, and early stopping:
- Generates fake data of shape
[C,6,H,W]by index; - Validates the six-face topology and capped leaky ReLU;
- Executes U-Net forward/backward, MSE loss, and optimization per epoch;
- Computes validation loss on an independent fake validation Dataset;
- Saves latest/best checkpoints and history; supports
--resume.
python scripts/train.py --epochs 10
python scripts/train.py --resume weight/training/latest.pth --epochs 20
Checkpoint outputs:
weight/model.pth
weight/training/latest.pth
weight/training/best.pth
weight/training/history.json
Inference
python scripts/inference.py
Inference results:
result/prediction.pt
result/target.pt
result/inference.json
Result Inspection
python scripts/result.py
The result script produces result/metrics.json and result/comparison.png. The current rmse and spatial_acc serve only as connectivity checks on fake tensors; they do not apply the denormalization, latitude-weighted area averaging, cubed-sphere inverse mapping, or daily climatological anomaly computation required by the paper.
Paper vs. Current Implementation I/O
| Item | Paper DLWP-CS | Current Smoke Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Input | 4 variables at t-6h,t, 8 channels |
2-channel single state with no physical semantics |
| Auxiliary Input | Solar radiation, land-sea mask, topography | Not implemented |
| Spatial Grid | [6,48,48] cubed sphere |
[6,8,8] fake grid |
| Output | 4 variables at t+6h,t+12h, 8 channels |
2-channel output of the same shape |
| Network / Training | Two-level U-Net, combined loss over two autoregressive steps | Single-level simplified U-Net, multi-epoch single-step MSE training |
| Analysis | Physical-unit, latitude-weighted RMSE/ACC | Smoke metrics without physical units |
The complete execution flow is train.py -> inference.py -> result.py. The fake Dataset preserves the cubed-sphere input shape but does not represent a continuous weather time series; the model package is distributed without local training weights or result/ artifacts. A production mode further requires an ERA5 Dataset implementation, CS48 remapping, 4 dynamic variables, auxiliary fields, normalization statistics, and the paper's two-step iterative training loss.
Real Data
Real-data training requires ERA5 variables Z500, Z1000, 300–700 hPa geopotential thickness, and 2 m temperature, along with solar radiation, a land-sea mask, topography, and Tempest-Remap offline remapping weights.
