Spotlight applications
1. they enable evaluation of the task-agnostic models, especially for downstream tasks involving limited data, class imbalance, noisy labels, etc.
2. they allow for quick scientific accomplishments and some “quick wins”; and
3. they serve as examples to facilitate the use of Copernicus foundation models and Earth as a Graph by 3rd parties.
The spotlight applications will show how these techniques give tangible improvements to real world problems faced by a diverse range of stakeholders.in addressing key societal challenges. We will develop two spotlight applications in the 1st cycle and two more in the 2nd cycle. A list of potential applications is provided below: Candidate application training data link to main concept impact climate tipping points of Atlantic meridional overturning circulation Simulations from the Fast Met Office
