ClimateNet
Model Introduction
ClimateNet is an expert-labeled extreme-weather dataset and pixel-level segmentation model for tropical cyclones and atmospheric rivers.

https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-14-107-2021
Model Description
The model was proposed by teams from LBNL, UC Berkeley, ETH Zurich, NVIDIA, NCAR, and collaborators. It was trained with four-channel CAM5.1 fields and expert segmentation masks. DeepLabv3+ supports tropical-cyclone and atmospheric-river detection and conditional precipitation analysis.
Use Cases
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Extreme segmentation | Identify background, TC, and AR pixels. |
| Climate scenarios | Transfer segmentation to warming experiments. |
| Conditional precipitation | Extract event-conditioned precipitation statistics. |
| ModelScope/OneCode execution | Validate data, training, inference, segmentation metrics, and visualization. |
| Multi-GPU training | Start multi-process training through torchrun. |

Environment Dependencies
Hardware Requirements
- A GPU or DCU is recommended.
- A CPU can be used for connectivity validation with the default small-sample configuration.
- DCU users should install DTK 25.04.2 or a compatible OneScience-recommended version first.
DCU Environment
# Activate DTK and Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y
conda activate onescience311
pip install onescience[earth-dcu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/ --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai
GPU Environment
# Activate Conda first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y libstdcxx-ng=12 libgcc-ng=12 gcc_linux-64=12 gxx_linux-64=12
conda activate onescience311

Training uses weighted cross-entropy. Inference returns finite class probabilities and evaluation reports per-class and mean IoU.
