Short summary
Short summary
In the Southern Ocean, abundant eddies behave opposite to our expectations. That is, anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddies are cold (warm). By investigating the variations of physical and biochemical parameters in eddies, we find that abnormal eddies have unique and significant effects on modulating the parameters. This study fills a gap in understanding the effects of abnormal eddies on physical and biochemical parameters in the Southern Ocean.

DeepFlux provides a global, gap-free, daily record of air temperature, humidity, and turbulent heat flux from 1992 to 2020. Using satellite data and deep learning, it fills missing observations and delivers continuous estimates. Tests against in situ measurements show it is closer to reality and more reliable than existing products. This open resource supports improved climate studies and model evaluation.

This study developed a transformer-based deep learning model to predict the Arctic sea ice seasonally. By integrating the sea ice thickness data into the model, the spring prediction barrier of Arctic sea ice is optimized significantly. The model achieves better skills than the typical numerical model in predicting September’s sea ice extent seasonally. The sea ice thickness data play a key role in reducing the prediction errors of the Beaufort Sea, the East Siberian Sea and the Laptev Sea.

Internal wave (IW) is an important ocean process and is frequently observed in the South China Sea (SCS). This study presents a detailed IW dataset for the northern SCS spanning from 2000 to 2022, with a spatial resolution of 250 m, comprising 3085 IW MODIS images. This dataset can enhance understanding of IW dynamics and serve as a valuable resource for studying ocean dynamics, validating numerical models, and advancing AI-driven model building, fostering further exploration into IW phenomena.

Since 2008, the Yellow Sea has faced a significant ecological issue, the green tide, which has become one of the world's largest marine disasters. Satellite remote sensing plays a pivotal role in detecting this phenomenon. This study uses AI-based models to extract the daily green tide from MODIS and SAR images and integrates these daily data to introduce a continuous weekly dataset, which aids research in disaster simulation, forecasting, and prevention.

Short summary
The study developed a deep learning model that effectively distinguishes between surface- and subsurface-intensified eddies in the northern Indian Ocean by integrating sea surface height and temperature data. The accurate distinction between these types of eddies provides valuable insights into their dynamics and their impact on marine ecosystems in the northern Indian Ocean and contributes to understanding the complex interactions between eddy dynamics and biogeochemical processes in the ocean.
