tl;dr: weather data assimilation inference works with provided weights, but training yields bad results
While running test_model.py with the provided weights yields expected results, I can't seem to get training (train_model.py) to work well be it atop the provided weights or from scratch; are there any parameters to update, e.g., learning rate, seed, etc., in order to get it to work?
This is the reconstruction gif that I'm getting:

timestep 0:
timestep 160:
Here's the loss plot I'm getting:
I think it's interesting that the loss plot looks "normal" and that the loss starts out so high for the existing model weights.
Let me know what other info I can provide / what else I should try. Thanks!
