Machine learning-based weather prediction has emerged as a promising complement to traditional numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. Models such as NVIDIA FourCastNet have demonstrated that the computational time for generating weather forecasts can be reduced from hours to mere seconds, a significant improvement to current NWP-based workflows. Traditional methods are formulated from first principles and…

Greetings,

In getting_started.ipynb there is a misleading in the code:
TypeError: InverseRealSHT.init() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘h_out’, ‘w_out’,
which is not part of the InverseRealSHT method varables.

Thanks,
Oleksii
