Mitigating Spectral Bias in Neural Operators for Underwater Transmission Loss Prediction

The paper addresses the spectral bias of Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) in predicting underwater acoustic transmission loss. It introduces a Spectral‑Spatial Residual Learning (S2RL) framework that first uses a spectral global propagator for coarse predictions and then a spatial local refiner to recover high‑frequency details. Experiments on a South China Sea dataset show that S2RL outperforms FNO baselines while keeping inference times in the millisecond range.
