What's in it

Data offered docs-verified: weather and climate data downscaling model weights · 6x downscaling of MERRA-2 2m temperature · 8x downscaling of ECCC u10 wind component
Coverage llm-inferred: Global
Resolution docs-verified: Input MERRA-2 0.5 x 0.625 degrees at 6x factor; ECCC GDPS ~15 km to HRDPS ~2.5 km; 8x wind and 12x EURO-CORDEX applications
Formats docs-verified: PyTorch · TerraTorch
Access docs-verified: Open model weights on Hugging Face under CDLA-Permissive-2.0 licence; no API key required (the no-key claim comes from ENTRY metadata, not DOCS)

Useful for

Use cases llm-inferred: Prototype downscaling of coarse MERRA-2 2m temperature to a finer grid for site-scale climate baselines · Test downscaling of coarse climate projections as input to drainage or flood climate-change allowance screening · Estimate higher-resolution wind fields from coarse forecast data for site wind assessments
Audience llm-inferred: climate scientists · hydrologists · drainage engineers · GIS analysts · ML engineers

Limitations

Constraints docs-verified: No hosted inference: not deployed by any Inference Provider, so it must be self-hosted · Fixed downscaling factors per released weights (6x MERRA-2 temperature, 8x ECCC wind); not a data feed or observational dataset · Paper is still 'to appear' per DOCS · DOCS do not state that EURO-CORDEX (12x) weights are released · DOCS do not state UK-specific training or validation (llm-inferred) · Needs PyTorch/TerraTorch and GPU-capable ML setup (llm-inferred)
