Short summary
An AI model was used to fill in missing parts of sea temperature (SST) maps caused by cloud cover. We found masked autoencoders can recreate missing SSTs with less than 0.2 °C error, even when 80 % are missing. This is 5000 times faster than conventional methods tested on a single central processing unit. This can enhance our ability in monitoring global small-scale ocean fronts that affect heat, carbon, and nutrient exchange in the ocean. The method is promising for future research.
