Abstract: A data-driven air-sea full-coupling regional forecast model with submesoscale-permitting, named "Volador 1.0", is developed for the South China Sea (SCS). The model features a Swin-Transformer framework integrated with a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) system, a latent space interaction architecture based on Cross-Grid Bidirectional Cross-Attention, and a fast-slow dual-branch architecture. Both the three-month hindcast test and the 15-day operational real-time forecasting demonstrate that Volador 1.0 has a very encouraging and promising performance in 0-72h forecasting of temperature and salinity in the 0-500m upper ocean as well as the sea surface height with root-mean-square-error (RMSE) or mean absolute error (MAE) smaller than or at least comparable to those from the reanalysis datasets REDOS V2.0 and GLORYS12 and the state-of-the-art regional numerical model Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). In particular, Volador 1.0 demonstrates its capability of capturing/forecasting submesoscale processes including internal waves, with an energy spectrum well representing sub- to mesoscale energy cascade as expected by the classical turbulence theory. Further analysis based on ablation experiments shows that the air-sea full-coupling framework, which takes into account the dynamic exchanges of momentum and heat fluxes between the atmosphere and the ocean, indeed helps improve the model's performance compared to the non-full-coupling one. Volador 1.0, though still subject to refinement in the coming future with a large space for improvement, blazes a path for an accurate, fine and fast marine environment forecasting, and thus could help promote our capability of disaster prevention and mitigation in the SCS as well as in other coastal regions where these innovative techniques can be applied.
