# NSF NCAR Community Research Earth Digital Intelligence Twin (CREDIT) FuXi 6-Hour Model Weights and Configuration
This repository contains the PyTorch checkpoint weights and data/model configuration files for the CREDIT WXFormer 6-hour model. 
More information about the training and verification of this model can be found in the Schreck et al. (2024) ArXiv [preprint](https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.07814). 

## Data Access
Our model is trained on ERA5 Reanalysis Data from a subset of 16 of the 137 hybrid sigma-pressure vertical levels. 
The raw data are available on the NSF NCAR [Research Data Archive](https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/d633006/). 
Processed data can be accessed on the [CREDIT ERA5 Zarr Files](https://app.globus.org/file-manager?origin_id=2fc90d8f-10b7-44e1-a6a5-cf844112822e&origin_path=%2F) globus collection.

## Running the Model
To run the model, first install the [CREDIT package](https://github.com/NCAR/miles-credit) from github. 
Modify the paths in the `finetune_final/model_predict.yml` configuration file to point to the appropriate ERA5 and scaler directories.
