Sampling sea state using a diffusion model

arXiv:2606. 26389v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Sea state prediction is essential for operational maritime applications and coupled earth system modeling, yet current spectral wave models remain computationally prohibitive for many use cases, including online coupling to climate simulations and making probabilistic (ensemble-based) predictions.

Deep Learning-Based Statistical Downscaling of Sea Surface Temperature Using a Residual Corrective Neural Network

arXiv:2608. 10022v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The large-scale oceanic and atmospheric forecasts provided by global climate models typically lack sufficient resolution to accurately capture the response of the coastal ocean to atmospheric forcing and coastal circulation that drive fine-scale SST variability.

BG4Sea: Biogeochemical Seasonal Forecastability via Progressive Information Scaling

arXiv:2607. 16731v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Marine biogeochemical forecasting is increasingly important for managing marine ecosystems and the carbon cycle, yet global, seasonal forecast products lag far behind physical oceanography, held back by the complexity of the processes involved and by data scarcity.

Neptune: An AI model for Global Ocean Subseasonal Prediction

Neptune is an end‑to‑end data‑driven framework that emulates global ocean and sea‑ice states for subseasonal‑to‑seasonal (S2S) forecasting up to 60 days. It combines Convolutional Neural Networks and Spherical Fourier Neural Operators to capture both local features and global cross‑scale interactions, producing daily outputs for temperature, salinity, currents, sea‑surface height, and sea‑ice metrics at 1° and 0.25° resolution. Evaluated against metrics such as RMSE, CRPS, ACC, and climate indices (ENSO, IOD), Neptune reproduces the spatio‑temporal evolution of oceanic fields and remains stable over long timescales.

Adaptive Nonlinear Vector Autoregression: Robust Forecasting for Noisy Chaotic Time Series

The paper introduces a data‑adaptive nonlinear vector autoregression (NVAR) model that replaces fixed polynomial or random feature maps with a shallow, trainable multilayer perceptron (MLP). By jointly training the MLP and a linear readout via gradient‑based optimization, the model learns data‑driven nonlinearities while maintaining a simple readout structure, improving scalability in high‑dimensional settings. Experiments on several chaotic systems, both noise‑free and synthetically noisy, show that this adaptive NVAR outperforms standard NVAR, a leaky echo state network (ESN), and a hybrid ESN in predictive accuracy, demonstrating robust forecasting under noisy conditions.
