首个全球海洋表层与深层观测配对数据集,助力AI研究海洋结构。
OceanDepths: A Global Dataset of Paired Subsurface and Surface Ocean Observations

- 将卫星海表数据与实测剖面数据在0.1°分辨率下精准配对
- 覆盖2000-2024年全球范围,含超950万组深度标准化剖面
- 专为高维稀疏数据设计,适合海洋状态重建等AI任务
尽管海洋覆盖地球表面70%以上,但其观测仍严重不足。现有数据多为模型重构、单一变量或粗分辨率,难以支持中尺度动力学研究。本文推出OceanDepths,首个开源、全球、重采样至0.1°×0.1°的AI就绪数据集,将卫星反演的海表温度(SST)、盐度(SSS)和海面高度(SSH)L4产品与同位置的EN4深层温盐剖面配对,并附带匹配的GLORYS12再分析数据。数据覆盖2000–2024年,每周更新,全球海表及超过950万组剖面被插值至50个标准深度层级。数据具有4维多变量结构,时空分辨率高,深层观测极度稀疏(每深度层级约0.01%),是新型AI方法的理想测试平台。我们以简单基线模型演示了深层状态重建任务,也展望其在基于观测的预报系统等方向的应用。数据可在https://huggingface.co/datasets/ESA-philab/OceanDepths获取。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite comprising over 70% of its surface, the world's oceans are critically underobserved compared to the land surface or the atmosphere. Understanding the global ocean requires jointly observing its surface and subsurface structure, yet no standardized, high-resolution dataset couples satellite surface fields to co-located in situ depth profiles in an AI-ready format. Existing resources either consist of model-reconstructed gridded products rather than observations, cover only a single variable or basin, or operate at resolutions too coarse for mesoscale dynamics. We introduce OceanDepths, the first open, global, regridded AI-ready dataset that pairs satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST), sea surface salinity (SSS), and sea surface height (SSH) L4 products with co-located EN4 subsurface temperature and salinity profiles, complemented by matched GLORYS12 ocean reanalysis data to support comparisons or multi-stage learning. The dataset spans 2000-2024 at 0.1 degrees x 0.1 degrees spatial resolution and at weekly temporal resolution, covering the entire globe's sea surface and with over 9.5 million paired profiles interpolated to 50 standardized depth levels. We provide a configurable system to split the globe in equally sized spatial patches. The 4D multivariate structure, high resolution, long temporal extent, and extreme sparsity of subsurface observations (approximately 0.01% per depth level) make OceanDepths a challenging testbed for novel AI methods. We demonstrate subsurface state reconstruction as an example task with simple baseline models, but also envision OceanDepths to support the development of observation-based forecast methods and other related tasks.
