Every connection.
A deeper understanding.

Seven days of surface observations become one compact representation. The decoder brings it back into focus, at fifteen depths.

Attention U-Net
OceanEmbed attention U-Net 84 input channels from seven days and twelve features are temporally fused to twelve channels. Three encoder blocks produce 64, 128, and 256 channels, leading to a 512-channel embedding at 12 by 30 resolution. Three decoder blocks with skip connections restore 100 by 240 resolution. The output head predicts fifteen temperature depths.

The surface tells
more than a story.

Twelve features. Each chosen for the physical information it carries into the ocean below.

Built to learn.
Designed to be tested.

A reconstruction is only useful if it holds up beneath the surface. Training and independent evaluation are part of the same design.

Learn the structure.
Then the variability.

01

Climatology pre-training

Monthly GLORYS means establish seasonal stratification and the mean vertical temperature structure.

02

Daily fine-tuning

Seven-day rolling inputs teach the full network to resolve daily changes, eddies, and monsoon dynamics.

Independent by design.
ARGO profiles are reserved for evaluation and never enter training.

Focus where it matters.

The thermocline receives twice the weight: its steep temperature gradients make reconstruction particularly challenging.
