This repository provides PyTorch implementations of Google Research's MetNet family of models for short-term weather forecasting, including MetNet, MetNet-2, MetNet-3, MetNetPV (photovoltaic), and MetNetSingleShot. The codebase is structured as a Python package with modular layers (ConvGRU, ConvLSTM, CoordConv, FiLM conditioning, MaxViT, partition attention, etc.) and data preprocessing utilities (Gaussian satellite merging, point-to-grid translation, MRMS normalization). The models are designed to ingest satellite imagery and radar data and output precipitation or other weather variables. The repository also includes pretrained weights hosted on HuggingFace Hub and a test suite covering layers, data utilities, and model forward/backward passes. While primarily an application library, it contains reusable data engineering components for geospatial data fusion.

The LLM identified 5 files worth highlighting for reuse:

Implements AddCoords and CoordConv modules that augment convolutional layers with normalized spatial coordinates (x, y, optionally radius). This is a self-contained, reusable pattern for any vision task requiring spatial awareness, such as remote sensing or medical imaging. It can be extracted and applied to any CNN with minimal modification.

file: metnet/layers/CoordConv.py ↗ | tags: #coordinate-convolution #spatial-embedding

Provides a full ConvGRU implementation with configurable layers, kernel sizes, dropout, and batch normalization. The ConvGRUCell and ConvGRU modules are well-structured, support multi-layer stacking, and include proper weight initialization. This is a reusable spatiotemporal sequence model that can be extracted for any video or time-series prediction task.

file: metnet/layers/ConvGRU.py ↗ | tags: #conv-gru #spatiotemporal #recurrent

Implements block and grid attention mechanisms as used in MaxViT. The PartitionAttention base class provides a generic framework for partitioning spatial dimensions, applying multi-head self-attention with relative position bias, FiLM conditioning, and MLP, then reversing the partition. BlockAttention and GridAttention subclasses implement specific partition strategies. This is a clean, reusable pattern for efficient window-based attention in vision transformers.

file: metnet/layers/PartitionAttention.py ↗ | tags: #partition-attention #block-attention #grid-attention #maxvit

Provides haversine-based Gaussian weight computation and multi-satellite merging for geospatial data. The gaussian_merge_multi function takes a list of xarray DataArrays, latitude/longitude grids, and satellite subpoints, and produces a blended field using Gaussian center-weighted averaging. This is a reusable data fusion pattern for combining overlapping satellite observations, applicable to any multi-sensor geospatial dataset.

Implements a PointToGridTranslator that converts sparse weather station observations (lat/lon point measurements) into a dense 2D grid using Lambert Conformal Conic projection. It handles averaging of multiple stations per pixel, variable selection, and fill values. This is a reusable pattern for gridding any sparse point data (e.g., weather stations, sensor networks) onto a regular grid, with configurable projection and resolution.
