New preprint: HClimRep-Ocean, a Global Ocean Emulator on an Unstructured Mesh
A new preprint by Kacper Nowak and colleagues, HClimRep-Ocean: A Global Ocean Emulator on an Unstructured Mesh, presents a machine-learning emulator developed to predict ocean dynamics directly on the native unstructured mesh of the FESOM2 ocean model. This approach avoids the need to interpolate ocean fields onto a regular grid, offering a promising direction for […]
