Model Introduction

FengWu is a global medium-range weather forecast foundation model jointly released by the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and multiple universities. It has been adopted by organizations such as the Hong Kong Observatory for operational weather forecasting.

Model Description

The FengWu model is built on a multi-modal and multi-task deep learning approach, without relying on traditional physical equations. It is trained entirely on ERA5 reanalysis data.

2. Manual Installation and Usage

Hardware Requirements

• A GPU or DCU is recommended.
• CPU can be used for import and small-scale connectivity verification; full training and inference will be slow.
• DCU users must install DTK in advance. DTK 25.04.2 or above, or the OneScience recommended version matching your cluster, is recommended.

Download the Model Package

hf download OneScience-Group/FengWu --local-dir ./FengWu
cd FengWu

Install the Runtime Environment

DCU Environment

# Please activate DTK and CONDA first
conda create -n onescience311 python=3.11 -y
conda activate onescience311
# uv installation is supported
pip install onescience[earth-dcu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/  --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai

GPU Environment

# Please 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
# uv installation is supported
pip install onescience[earth-gpu] -i http://mirrors.onescience.ai:3141/pypi/simple/  --trusted-host mirrors.onescience.ai

Training Data Introduction

The OneScience community provides ERA5 data for training (due to file size limits, the current repository contains a slice of the full dataset). Users can download it with the command below and confirm that the data path in conf/config.yaml is set correctly:

hf download --repo-type dataset OneScience-Group/ERA5 --local-dir ./data

Training

Single GPU:

python scripts/train.py

Multi-GPU:

torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 --nnodes=1 --rdzv_id=1000 --rdzv_backend=c10d --max_restarts=0 --master_addr="localhost" --master_port=29500 scripts/train.py

Training will save model_bak.pth under data/checkpoints/.

Training Weights

This repository provides weights trained on 39 years of ERA5 reanalysis data in the weights/ folder. The weight files will be uploaded soon and are expected to be available in the near future.

Inference

python scripts/inference.py

Inference results will be saved to result/output/.

Evaluation and Visualization

python scripts/result.py

You can specify a date and variable at the end of result.py for visualization.
