摘要

Accurate large-scale ocean environment modeling is challenged by multi-scale dynamics, sparse sampling, and measurement noise. This paper presents a fast spatiotemporal (ST) modeling and robust target diagnosis for large-scale ocean environments. First, the four-dimensional field is factorized via a Karhunen-Loève (KL) expansion into orthonormal spatial modes and their temporal features. The spatial modes are further regularized by smooth parametric functions, while the temporal features follow a compact nonlinear evolution, enabling efficient ST fusion for reconstruction. Building on the denoised field, the diagnosis module applies depth-wise Savitzky-Golay smoothing, prominence-based peak search on the vertical temperature gradient, and a half-maximum rule to estimate thermocline depth and thickness. Experiments on a Pacific Ocean dataset demonstrate favorable efficiency, stability, and interpretability. The proposed method achieves a root mean square error 0.1945° C in temperature reconstruction tests, while delivering reliable thermocline localization and thickness estimation suitable for online deployment.
