ClimAgent: LLM as Agents for Autonomous Open-ended Climate Science Analysis

- 构建统一工具环境与推理协议,实现从数据到建模的全流程自主分析。
- 在真实气候任务中表现超越现有方案40.21%,显著提升结果严谨性与实用性。
- 专为气候科研设计,适合需要高效处理复杂数据的研究者使用。
气候研究对缓解全球环境危机至关重要,但多尺度数据量激增与分析工具复杂化导致研究流程碎片化且耗时。尽管大语言模型(LLM)有望规模化科学能力,现有工作仍局限于简单的问答任务,难以应对专业气候科学中的物理约束与数据驱动需求。为此,我们提出ClimAgent,一个通用的自主框架,可跨多个气候子领域执行多样研究任务。通过整合统一的工具使用环境与严格推理协议,ClimAgent实现端到端建模与分析。为系统评估,我们构建了首个真实气候发现基准ClimaBench,涵盖2000至2025年间5类专业场景的挑战性任务。实验表明,ClimAgent在解决方案严谨性与实用性上比原始LLM方案提升40.21%。代码已开源:https://github.com/usail-hkust/ClimAgent。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Climate research is pivotal for mitigating global environmental crises, yet the accelerating volume of multi-scale datasets and the complexity of analytical tools have created significant bottlenecks, constraining scientific discovery to fragmented and labor-intensive workflows. While the emergence Large Language Models (LLMs) offers a transformative paradigm to scale scientific expertise, existing explorations remain largely confined to simple Question-Answering (Q&A) tasks. These approaches often oversimplify real-world challenges, neglecting the intricate physical constraints and the data-driven nature required in professional climate science.To bridge this gap, we introduce ClimAgent, a general-purpose autonomous framework designed to execute a wide spectrum of research tasks across diverse climate sub-fields. By integrating a unified tool-use environment with rigorous reasoning protocols, ClimAgent transcends simple retrieval to perform end-to-end modeling and analysis. To foster systematic evaluation, we propose ClimaBench, the first comprehensive benchmark for real-world climate discovery. It encompasses challenging problems spanning 5 distinct task categories derived from professional scenarios between 2000 and 2025. Experiments on ClimaBench demonstrate that ClimAgent significantly outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, achieving a 40.21% improvement over original LLM solutions in solution rigorousness and practicality.
