Estimating carbon pools in the shelf sea environment: reanalysis or model-informed machine learning?
Shelf seas are important for carbon sequestration and carbon cycle, but available in situ, or satellite data for carbon pools in the shelf sea environment are often sparse, or highly uncertain. Alternative can be provided by reanalyses, but these are often expensive to run. We propose to use an ensemble of neural networks (NN) to learn from a coupled physics-biogeochemistry model the relationship between the directly observable variables and carbon pools. We demonstrate for North-West European …
