摘要:

从百米到千米尺度的中层海洋是地球系统中极为关键而又缺乏认知的部分,许多重要的海洋过程都发生于此。在传统海洋学理论和现场观测相对缺乏的背景下,如何“由表及里”地从太空“遥感”中层海洋是一个极具挑战性的科学问题。人工智能搭建了数据科学与海洋科学的新桥梁(称之为“深蓝AI”),是推动元宇宙时代海洋科学范式变革的有力武器。文章首先阐述了百米海洋的水体运动与千米海洋的垂直层化等基础先验知识,以及卫星遥感、现场观测等技术手段为深蓝AI提供的数据资源;然后从关联统计、物理牵引和数学驱动3个神经网络层面着重论述了为实现中层海洋遥感而构建的深蓝AI普适方法论;最后围绕典型海洋动力过程,阐述了深蓝AI技术在挖掘海洋数据空间共性规律,进而实现“由表及里”的知识发现等方面所具有的独特优势和应用潜力。

Abstract:

Oceans at a depth ranging from ~100 m to ~1000 m (defined as the intermediate water here), though poorly understood up till now, is a critical layer of the Earth system where many important oceanographic processes take place. Advances in ocean observation and computer technology have allowed ocean science to enter the era of big data (to be precise, big data for the surface layer, small data for the bottom layer, while the intermediate layer sits in between), and greatly promoted our understanding of near-surface ocean phenomena. During the past few decades, however, the intermediate ocean is also undergoing profound changes as a result of global warming, the research and prediction of which are of intensive concern. Due to the lack of three-dimensional ocean theories, how to ‘remotely sense’ the intermediate ocean from space becomes a very attractive but challenging scientific issue. With the rapid development of the next generation of information technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has built a new bridge from data science to marine science (called Deep Blue AI, abbreviated as DBAI), which acts as a powerful weapon to extend the paradigm of modern oceanography in the era of Metaverse. This review first introduces the basic prior knowledges of water movement in the ~100 m ocean and vertical stratification within the ~1000 m depths, as well as the data resources provided by satellite remote sensing, field observation and model reanalysis for DBAI. Then, three universal DBAI methodologies, namely the correlation statistical, physically informed and mathematically driven neural networks, are elucidated in the context of intermediate ocean remote sensing. Finally, the unique advantages and potentials of DBAI in data mining and knowledge discovery are demonstrated in a top-down way of “surface-to-interior” via several typical examples in physical and biological oceanography.
