ACE2-SHiELD

Ai2 Climate Emulator (ACE) is a family of models designed to simulate atmospheric variability from the time scale of days to centuries.

Disclaimer: ACE models are research tools and should not be used for operational climate predictions.

ACE2-SHiELD is trained on output from SHiELD, NOAA GFDL's physics-based atmospheric model, and is described in ACE2: Accurately learning subseasonal to decadal atmospheric variability and forced responses. As part of that paper, the repository containing training and evaluation scripts and configuration files used for this model is located here.

Inference quickstart

Download this repository for the model checkpoint. Download the forcing data and initial conditions from the ACE2S-SHiELD+ repository — specifically the forcing_data/amip/ directory (covering 1979–2021) and initial_conditions/amip/ic.nc (a single initial condition for 1979-01-01).
Update paths in the inference_config.yaml. Specifically, update experiment_dir, checkpoint_path, initial_condition.path and forcing_loader.dataset.data_path. Optionally, configure data_writer.names to select which output variables to save.
Install code dependencies with pip install fme.
Run inference with python -m fme.ace.inference inference_config.yaml.

See the ACE docs for full details on configuring inference and output data.

Data availability

Forcing and initial condition data for AMIP-style simulations are available in the ACE2S-SHiELD+ repository. Forcing data covers 1979–2021 (forcing_data/amip/). A single initial condition for 1979-01-01 is available (initial_conditions/amip/ic.nc).

Training and validation data are not hosted on Hugging Face, but are available in a requester-pays Google Cloud Storage bucket at:

Strengths and weaknesses

The behavior of ACE2-SHiELD is similar to that of ACE2-ERA5 as described in the ACE2 paper. Please refer to that model card and paper for a detailed discussion of strengths and weaknesses.
