This session aims to explore the application of ML methods in ocean science, with a focus on advancing our understanding and addressing key challenges in the field. Our objective is to foster discussions, share recent advancements, and explore future directions in the field of ML methods for ocean science. A wide range of machine learning techniques can be considered including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, interpretable techniques, and physics-informed and generative models. The applications to be addressed span both observational and modeling approaches. Observational approaches include for example: - Identifying patterns and features in oceanic fields - Filling observational gaps of in-situ or satellite observations - Inferring unobserved variables or unobserved scales - Automating quality control of data - Modeling approaches can address (but are not restricted to): - Designing new parameterization schemes in ocean models - Emulating partially or completely ocean models - Parameter tuning and model uncertainty The session also welcomes submissions at the interface between modeling and observations, such as data assimilation, data-model fusion, or bias correction. Researchers and practitioners working in the domain of ocean science, as well as those interested in the application of ML methods, are encouraged to attend and participate in this session.
