Radar-DINO field-token v1

This artifact contains the inference-only teacher backbone and reference analysis data for the field-token Radar-DINO model trained on 8,416 KHTX GridNC scans.

Expected input

Each NetCDF scan must contain a 301 by 301 (or larger) 1 km horizontal grid and the following fields at 2,000 m:

reflectivity
specific_differential_phase (KDP and kdp are accepted aliases)
differential_reflectivity
cross_correlation_ratio
spectrum_width

The package center-crops to 300 by 300 grid cells, applies the fixed normalization stored in manifest.json, and preserves missing values with the training fill value.

Installation

bash

python -m pip install \
  "radar-dino[netcdf,hub,analysis,plot] @ git+https://github.com/DanielWefer/radar_dino.git@main"

Usage

python

from radar_dino import RadarDINO

dino = RadarDINO.from_pretrained(
    "dwefer/radar-dino-fieldtoken-v1",
    device="auto",
)
result = dino.analyze("/path/to/KHTX_scan.nc")
pngs = dino.save_plots(result, "/path/to/output")

result.feature                 # normalized 384-D vector
result.attention               # heads x fields x 300 x 300
result.umap                    # 2-D UMAP transform
result.tsne                    # approximate display-only t-SNE position
result.cluster                 # fitted PCA/HDBSCAN cluster, -1 means noise
result.cluster_probability
result.neighbors               # five closest reference scans by cosine similarity
pngs                           # attention, UMAP, and t-SNE PNG files

The five attention PNGs show each normalized radar field beside its mean-head attention. UMAP and t-SNE PNGs show the complete reference population colored by HDBSCAN cluster, with the input scan marked by a red star.

Reference analysis

The artifact includes normalized 384-D reference features, sanitized scan metadata, a fitted 30-component PCA model, an HDBSCAN model fit on the first 20 principal components, and a cosine UMAP model fit on the original normalized features. The fixed reference t-SNE is included for visualization.

Scikit-learn t-SNE has no out-of-sample transform. A new scan's result.tsne coordinate is therefore a nearest-neighbor interpolation for display only. Clusters are assigned with the fitted PCA/HDBSCAN pipeline, not in UMAP or t-SNE space.

Limitations

This model was trained on KHTX scans and has not been established as a meteorological classifier or severe-weather decision product. Cluster IDs are unsupervised groups, and label -1 denotes HDBSCAN noise rather than a physical radar category. Similarity can reflect coverage, missingness, and data quality as well as meteorological structure.

The model weights use safetensors. The fitted PCA, HDBSCAN, and UMAP estimators use joblib serialization and must only be loaded from a trusted model repository.
