Aurora v1.5 0.25 degree global forecast model with hourly output.
The underlying 6-hour auto-regressive model is queried at t+1h through t+6h from the same input pair before advancing the AR state. Inputs are two states six hours apart on a (720, 1440) grid, with 5 atmospheric variables across 13 pressure levels and 18 surface variables. Outputs include 7 additional diagnostic variables.
Note
This model uses the checkpoints from the microsoft/aurora HuggingFace repository. For additional information see:

Aurora v1.5 was pretrained on ERA5 and fine-tuned on IFS operational
analyses and is recommended to be initialized with IFS analyses.
The open-data IFS does not publish sea ice concentration (sic).
earth2studio.data.NCAR_ERA5 or earth2studio.data.ARCO_ERA5
may be used instead. GFS is not supported due to missing surface variables.
The iterator yields the initial condition first. Its output-only variables
(i10fg, blh, uvb1h, ssrd1h, ttr1h, tp1h, sf1h)
contain NaN at that step; subsequent steps contain model predictions.
Use Aurora1p5_6h for six-hourly output.
Warning
We encourage users to familiarize themselves with the license restrictions of this model's checkpoints.
