However, it can be logistically difficult to find the relevant research and records, which are often unpublished or exist as ‘grey literature’. This hinders researchers’ ability to efficiently assess the current state of coral core studies on the GBR and thus identify any key knowledge gaps. This study presents the Great Barrier Reef Coral Skeletal Records Database (GBRCD), which compiles 208 records from coral skeletal research conducted since the early 1990s. The database includes records from the Holocene, from ~8,000 years ago, to the present day; from the northern, central, and southern GBR from inshore and offshore locations. Massive <em>Porites</em> spp. coral records comprise the majority (92.5 %) of the database, and the remaining records are from <em>Acropora</em>, <em>Isopora</em> or <em>Cyphastrea</em> spp. The database includes 78 variables, with Sr/Ca, U/Ca and Ba/Ca the most frequently measured. Most records measure data over 10 or more years and are at monthly or lower resolution. The GBRCD is machine readable and easily searchable so users can find records relevant to their research, for example, by filtering for site names, time period, or coral type. It is publicly available as comma-separated values (CSV) data and metadata files with entries linked by the unique record ID and as Linked Paleo Data (LiPD) files. The GBRCD is publicly available from the NOAA National Center for Environmental Information’s Paleoclimate Data Archive at https://doi.org/10.25921/hqxk-8h74 (Arzey et al. 2024). The collection and curation of existing GBR coral research provides researchers with the ability to analyse common proxies such as Sr/Ca across multiple locations and/or examine regional to reef scale trends. The database is also suitable for multi-proxy comparisons and combination or composite analyses to determine overarching changes recorded by the proxies. This database represents the first comprehensive compilation of coral records from the GBR. It enables the investigation of multiple environmental factors via various proxy systems for the GBR, northeastern Australia and potentially the broader Indo-Pacific.","PeriodicalId":48747,"journal":{"name":"Earth System Science Data","volume":"61 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":11.4,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140845633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technology with multi-source marine big data, we have developed a Spatial–Temporal–Ecological Ensemble model based on Deep Learning (STEE-DL), and then generated the first AI-driven Global Daily gap-free 4 km PFTs product from 1998 to 2023 (AIGD-PFT), significantly enhancing the accuracy and spatiotemporal coverage of quantifying eight major PFTs (i.e., Diatoms, Dinoflagellates, Haptophytes, Pelagophytes, Cryptophytes, Green Algae, Prokaryotes, and Prochlorococcus). The input data encompass physical oceanographic, biogeochemical, spatiotemporal information, and ocean color data (OC-CCI v6.0) that have been gap-filled using a Discrete Cosine Transform with a Penalized Least Square (DCT-PLS) approach. The STEE-DL model utilizes an ensemble strategy with 100 ResNet models, applying Monte Carlo and bootstrapping methods to estimate optimal PFT values and assess model uncertainty through ensemble means and standard deviations. The model's performance was validated using multiple cross-validation strategies—random, spatial-block, and temporal-block—combined with in-situ data, demonstrating STEE-DL's robustness and generalization capability. The daily updates and seamless nature of the AIGD-PFT product capture the complex dynamics of coastal regions effectively. Finally, through a comparative analysis using a triple-collocation (TC) approach, the competitive advantages of the AIGD-PFT product over existing products were validated. The AIGD-PFT product not only provides the foundation for detailed analyses of PFT trends, interannual variability, and the impacts of climate change on phytoplankton composition across various temporal and spatial scales, but also has the potential to facilitate precise quantification of marine carbon flux and enhances the accuracy of biogeochemical models.

Leveraging advanced AI models, namely AlgaeNet and GANet, this study comprehensively extracted and analyzed green tide occurrences using optical Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images and microwave Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Most importantly, this study presents a continuous and seamless weekly average green tide coverage dataset with the resolution of 500 m, by integrating high precise daily optical and SAR data during each week during the green tide breakout. The uncertainty assessment of this weekly product shows it is completely consistent with the overall direct average of the daily product (R²=1 and RMSE=0). Additionally, the individual case verification in 2019 also shows that the weekly product conforms to the life pattern of green tide outbreaks and exhibits parabolic curve-like characteristics, with an low uncertainty (R²=0.89 and RMSE=275 km²).This weekly dataset offers reliable long-term data spanning 15 years, facilitating research in forecasting, climate change analysis, numerical simulation and disaster prevention planning in the Yellow Sea.

Accurate, detailed, and up-to-date information on cropland extent is crucial for provisioning food security and environmental sustainability. However, because of the complexity of agricultural landscapes and lack of sufficient training samples, it remains challenging to monitor cropland dynamics at high spatial and temporal resolutions across large geographical extents, especially for regions where agricultural land use is changing dramatically. Here we developed a cost-effective annual cropland mapping framework that integrated time-series Landsat satellite imagery, automated training sample generation, as well as machine learning and change detection techniques. We implemented the proposed scheme to a cloud computing platform of Google Earth Engine and generated a novel dataset of China's annual cropland at a 30 m spatial resolution (namely CACD). Results demonstrated that our approach was capable of tracking dynamic cropland changes in different agricultural zones. The pixel-wise F1 scores for annual maps and change maps of CACD were 0.79 ± 0.02 and 0.81, respectively. Further cross-product comparisons, including accuracy assessment, correlations with statistics, and spatial details, highlighted the precision and robustness of CACD compared with other datasets. According to our estimation, from 1986 to 2021, China's total cropland area expanded by 30 300 km2 (1.79 %), which underwent an increase before 2002 but a general decline between 2002 and 2015, and a slight recovery afterward. Cropland expansion was concentrated in the northwest while the eastern, central, and southern regions experienced substantial cropland loss. In addition, we observed 419 342 km2 (17.57 %) of croplands that were abandoned at least once during the study period. The consistent, high-resolution data of CACD can support progress toward sustainable agricultural use and food production in various research applications.

Investigating the global time-varying gravity field mainly depends on GRACE/GRACE-FO gravity data. However, satellite gravity data exhibit low spatial resolution and signal distortion. Satellite altimetry is an important technique for observing the global ocean and provides many consecutive years of data, which enables the study of high-resolution marine gravity variations. This study aims to construct a high-resolution marine gravity change rate (MGCR) model using multi-satellite altimetry data. Initially, multi-satellite altimetry data and ocean temperature–salinity data from 1993 to 2019 are utilized to estimate the altimetry sea level change rate (SLCR) and steric SLCR, respectively. Subsequently, the mass-term SLCR is calculated. Finally, based on the mass-term SLCR, the global MGCR model on 5′ × 5′ grids (SDUST2020MGCR) is constructed by applying the spherical harmonic function method and mass load theory. Comparisons and analyses are conducted between SDUST2020MGCR and GRACE2020MGCR resolved from GRACE/GRACE-FO gravity data. The spatial distribution characteristics of SDUST2020MGCR and GRACE2020MGCR are similar in the sea areas where gravity changes significantly, such as the eastern seas of Japan, the western seas of the Nicobar Islands, and the southern seas of Greenland. The statistical mean values of SDUST2020MGCR and GRACE2020MGCR in global and local oceans are all positive, indicating that MGCR is rising. Nonetheless, differences in spatial distribution and statistical results exist between SDUST2020MGCR and GRACE2020MGCR, primarily attributable to spatial resolution disparities among altimetry data, ocean temperature–salinity data, and GRACE/GRACE-FO data. Compared with GRACE2020MGCR, SDUST2020MGCR has higher spatial resolution and excludes stripe noise and leakage errors. The high-resolution MGCR model constructed using altimetry data can reflect the long-term marine gravity change in more detail, which is helpful in studying seawater mass migration and its associated geophysical processes.

Long-term changes in freshwater reservoirs are critical for understanding the Arctic Ocean, and data from various sources, particularly measured or reanalyzed data, must be used to the greatest extent possible. Over the past two decades, a large number of intensive field observations and ship surveys have been conducted in the western Arctic Ocean to obtain a large amount of CTD data. Multiple machine learning methods were evaluated and merged to reconstruct annual salinity product in the western Arctic Ocean over the period 2003–2022. Data mining-based machine learning methods make use of variables determined by physical processes, such as sea level pressure, sea ice concentration, and drift. Our objective is to effectively manage the mean root mean square error (RMSE) of sea surface salinity, which exhibits greater susceptibility to atmospheric, sea ice, and oceanic changes. Considering the higher susceptibility of sea surface salinity to atmospheric, sea ice, and oceanic changes, which leads to greater variability, we ensured that the average root mean square error of CTD and EN4 sea surface salinity field during the machine learning training process was constrained within 0.25 psu. The machine learning process reveals that the uncertainty in predicting sea surface salinity, as constrained by CTD data, is 0.24 %, whereas when constrained by EN4 data it reduces to 0.02 %. During data merging and post-calibrating, the weight coefficients are constrained by imposing limitations on the uncertainty value. Compared with commonly used EN4 and ORAS5 salinity in the Arctic Ocean, our salinity product provide more accurate descriptions of freshwater content in the Beaufort Gyre and depth variations at its halocline base. The application potential of this multi-machine learning results approach for evaluating and integrating extends beyond the salinity field, encompassing hydrometeorology, sea ice thickness, polar biogeochemistry, and other related fields.

As such, the Deep Convective Microphysics Experiment (DCMEX) undertook an in situ aircraft and ground-based measurement campaign of New Mexico deep convective clouds during July–August 2022. The campaign coordinated a broad range of instrumentation measuring aerosol, cloud physics, radar, thermodynamics, dynamics, electric fields, and weather.
