Depth-Resolved Coral Reef Thermal Fields from Satellite SST and Sparse In-Situ Loggers Using Physics-Informed Neural Networks

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.13131v1 Announce Type: new Satellite sea surface temperature (SST) products underpin global coral bleaching monitoring, yet they measure only the ocean skin. Corals inhabit depths from the shallows to beyond 20 metres, where temperatures can be 1-3{\deg}C cooler than the surface; applying satellite SST uniformly to all depths. therefore. overestimates subsurface thermal stress.
