Could you build this?
No Porting a massive legacy Fortran general circulation climate model into differentiable JAX requires domain PhD-level expertise in geophysical fluid dynamics and numerical methods.
What it would actually take: Requires deep knowledge of oceanographic Navier-Stokes approximations, JAX, Python, and Fortran. The hard part is translating legacy Fortran grid discretizations and parameterizations into stable, differentiable tensor operations while validating adjoint sensitivities against algorithmic differentiation systems like TAF.
