Abstract
Data-driven predictions of marine environmental variables are typically focused on single variables. However, in real marine environments, there are correlations among different oceanic variables. Additionally, sea–air interactions play a significant role in influencing the evolution of the marine environment. Both internal dynamics and external drivers contribute to these changes. In this study, a data-driven model is proposed using sea surface height anomaly (SSHA), sea surface temperature (SST), and sea surface wind (SSW) in the Bohai Sea. This model combines multivariate empirical orthogonal functions (MEOFs) with long and short-term memory (LSTM). MEOF analysis is used on the multivariate dataset of SSHA and SST, considering the correlation among sea surface variables. SSW is introduced as a predictor to enhance the predictability of the multivariate sea surface model. In the case of the Bohai Sea, the comparative tests of the model without wind field effect, the fully coupled model, and the proposed prediction model were carried out. MEOF analysis is employed in comparative experiments for oceanic variables, atmospheric variables, and combined atmospheric and oceanic variables. The results demonstrate that using wind field as a predictor can improve the forecast accuracy of SSHA and SST in the Bohai Sea. The root mean square errors (RMSE) for SSHA and SST in a 7-day forecast are 0.016 m and 0.3200 °C, respectively.
