Drift Field Net: Learning Ocean Lagrangian advection fields from in-situ and satellite observations
Drift Field Net (DFN) is a deep neural network that predicts ocean surface flow fields from satellite observations, trained via a two‑stage strategy combining simulated data pretraining and Lagrangian fine‑tuning with an advection‑consistent loss. DFN improves particle trajectory forecasts, reducing mean positioning error by 20 km over a 7‑day period compared to an operational physics‑based model, and further decreasing error by 10 km when the advection loss is applied. The study demonstrates that incorporating Lagrangian constraints into deep‑learning training enhances ocean surface flow prediction accuracy.

Physical knowledge on historical data matters more than enforcing physical constraints on the forecast
The paper introduces a Physics Informed Recurrent Neural Network (PIRNN) that simultaneously predicts target time series and unobservable intermediate physical variables, enhancing robustness and interpretability. It adapts to any physical model with multiple equations and variables, demonstrated on groundwater level predictions using the Gardenia model. Experiments on twelve real‑world datasets show PIRNN outperforming several neural network baselines and the Gardenia model, with an ablation study confirming the value of physical knowledge.
