DATA & FILE OVERVIEW
File List:
Two types of model checkpoint files are provided: pretrained and fine-tuned. Pretrained models were trained with three different parameter scales β 117 million, 1 billion, and 8 billion parameters. These models were subsequently fine-tuned on USA regional data, with the resulting checkpoints.
They are organized into the following folders:
. βββ pretrain β βββ intermediate_117m.ckpt β βββ intermediate_1b.ckpt_rank_0 β βββ intermediate_1b.ckpt_rank_1 β βββ intermediate_1b.ckpt_rank_2 β βββ intermediate_1b.ckpt_rank_3 β βββ intermediate_8m.ckpt βββ us-finetune βββ 126m_us_precipitation.ckpt βββ 9.5m_us_precipitation.ckpt βββ temperature_126M.ckpt βββ temperature_9.5M.ckptintermediate_117m.ckpt: Pretrained using 117 million model parameters intermediate_1b.chpt_*: Pretrained using 1 billion model parameters intermediate_8m.chpt: Pretrained using 8 billion model parameters
126m_us_precipitation.chpt: fine-tuned for US precipitation super-resolution 9.5m_us_precipitation.ckpt: fine-tuned for US precipitation super-resolution temperature_126M.ckpt: fine-tuned for temperature super-resolution temperature_9.5M.ckpt: fine-tuned for temperature super-resolution
Usage instructions and integration examples for these checkpoint files are available in the main code repository: https://github.com/XiaoWang-Github/ORBIT-2
