Description

Hi, among the variables used to train Aurora, some atmospheric variables are defined on pressure levels. However, over certain regions, such as the Himalayas, some of these pressure levels (e.g., 700 hPa) are below the surface and therefore are not expected to have valid values. How were subsurface values handled during training?

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing the training data preparation for pressure-level atmospheric variables and determine how subsurface values are handled. Done means the handling is established from the implementation or training configuration and clearly explained in the issue.
