Code and Data for "Global Surface Eddy Mixing Ellipses: Spatio-temporal Variability and Machine Learning Prediction" By Jing et al. Submitted to Frontiers in Marine Science.

This repository contains the code and data for the study of "Global Surface Eddy Mixing Ellipses: Spatio-temporal Variability and Machine Learning Prediction" By Jing et al. Submitted to Frontiers in Marine Science. Specifically, this repository contains the following items: (1) The codes needed for assessing the representation and prediction skills of Random Forest (RF) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models. (2) Original and normalized data to run these codes. (3) Code here is built on early work from our laboratory (Guan et al., 2022; Zhang et al., 2023), though great modifications have been made tailored to our scientific question.
