Sea Surface Temperature Forecasting Using Machine Learning

Abstract
Sea Surface Temperature (SST) is a critical climate variable that influences global weather, monsoon behavior, and marine ecosystems. Traditional numerical models struggle with high computational cost and nonlinear ocean?atmosphere dynamics. This work presents a machine-learning-based framework for SST forecasting using satellite observations and reanalysis data. Models including Random Forest, LSTM, and ConvLSTM are evaluated for short- and medium-term prediction. Results show that ML models significantly outperform persistence and statistical baselines in accuracy and efficiency. The study demonstrates the potential of data-driven methods to enhance operational SST forecasting and support climate monitoring applications.
