Towards Efficient and Stable Ocean State Forecasting: A Continuous-Time Koopman Approach

arXiv CS.AI

ArXi:2603.05560v1 Announce Type: cross We investigate the Continuous-Time Koopman Autoencoder (CT-KAE) as a lightweight surrogate model for long-horizon ocean state forecasting in a two-layer quasi-geostrophic (QG) system. By projecting nonlinear dynamics into a latent space governed by a linear ordinary differential equation, the model enforces structured and interpretable temporal evolution while enabling temporally resolution-invariant forecasting via a matrix exponential formulation.
