Introduction
The introduction discusses the increasing severity of extreme weather events due to climate change and the limitations of traditional weather and climate models. It highlights the need for machine learning methods to improve modeling and forecasting, while addressing the challenges of reproducibility and data consistency.
Key Components of ClimateLearn
ClimateLearn consists of four main components: tasks, datasets, models, and evaluations, which facilitate benchmarking of machine learning models in climate science.
Tasks
The library supports various tasks including weather forecasting, downscaling, and climate projection, each with specific input and output configurations tailored for global or regional scales.
