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.

Incomplete Observations Boost Evolutionary Performance in Ocean Modeling

arXiv:2607. 19147v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data-driven methods have revolutionized ocean modeling, yet current approaches rely heavily on complete reanalysis datasets, imposing computational constraints and limiting model performance to that of the training data.

OceanMoE: Structured Conditional Sparse Computation for Long-Horizon Multivariate Ocean Forecasting

OceanMoE is a structured conditional sparse Mixture-of-Experts framework designed for long‑horizon multivariate ocean forecasting. It fuses cross‑variable information to build target‑specific local representations and performs content‑conditioned sparse routing at each spatial location, with the number of active experts adjusted by router confidence. Experiments on ORAS5 data show that OceanMoE reduces aggregate forecasting error and maintains lower geometric‑mean normalized RMSE compared to baselines, while expert allocation varies with prediction targets and locations.

Resolving sources of uncertainty in AI weather forecasting

The paper introduces Pangu‑Bayes, a probabilistic forecasting hierarchy that separates atmospheric‑state uncertainty from learned‑model uncertainty as distinct stochastic variables, allowing cross‑flow perturbations of the evolving state with Bayesian parameter samples. In tests on 90 held‑out 2023 tropical cyclones, Pangu‑Bayes reduces track, pressure, and wind errors by 54.2%, 17.2%, and 24.9% respectively, and improves rapid‑intensification detection. The study finds that atmospheric‑state variability more consistently improves track prediction, while learned‑model variability more often enhances intensity prediction, demonstrating how model‑defined uncertainty resolution can be linked to target‑dependent value and dynamical interpretation.

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.
