Abstract | The sea surface temperature (SST) is not only a crucial external factor in the evolution of the atmosphere, but also a primary factor and premonition signal used in climate prediction. It is challenging to obtain a precise SST for generating accurate initial and boundary conditions in numerical models. This study employs a machine learning approach, that is, a convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm, to predict SST on a seasonal scale. In particular, the subsurface ocean temperature (OT) and ocean salinity (OS) at depths of 5.02, 15.08, 25.16, 35.28, 45.45 and 76.55 m were used as training factors in developing a CNN prediction model. The results indicate that subsurface OT and OS can persist for 6 months or longer, with a maximum persistence of up to 12 months. Using the CNN prediction model, the SST can be reliably predicted 6 months in advance in most cases. The predicted SST has a mean bias of approximately 0-0.8 K on the globe. The bias is small (below 0.5 K) in the open ocean. The root mean square errors (RMSEs) of hindcasting for Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation indices are all less than 1.0 K. Specifically, the RMSE for El Nino prediction is less than 0.5 K. This study provides a viable method for establishing initial and boundary conditions for climate prediction. It is challenging to obtain a precise sea surface temperature (SST) for generating accurate initial and boundary conditions in numerical models. This study employs a machine learning approach, which is a convolutional neural network algorithm, to predict SST on a seasonal scale. image |
