Description

Hi maintainers!
I’d like to know whether Aurora (or its flexible variant) can be fine-tuned to meet the following requirements:
Spatial resolution: 0.25° × 0.25°
Temporal resolution: 10 minutes
44 vertical levels (pressure or hybrid coordinates)
Predictands: 3-D temperature, specific humidity, and wind components (u, v).
Specific questions:
Does the architecture allow arbitrary numbers of vertical levels without a full re-training?
Are there recommended preprocessing scripts to re-grid ERA5/HRES to 0.25° / 10 min?
Any memory/compute estimates for fine-tuning on ~1 year of data at this spatio-temporal density?
Thanks in advance!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing Aurora’s architecture and fine-tuning and data-preprocessing entry points to determine whether the requested vertical levels and spatio-temporal resolution are supported; done means answering the feasibility, preprocessing, and compute questions with concrete guidance.
