The parameters of wind-induced ocean waves can be determined using these images; however, traditional spectral methods for obtaining wave characteristics face limitations in improving accuracy. Deep learning techniques offer advantages in image processing tasks, being more robust and able to handle noisier data, yet delivering the results without Fourier transformations and not necessarily requiring long series of radar imagery. In our study, we present the method exploiting convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for estimating wave characteristics from shipborne radar data captured using SeaVision package. In particular, we train our CNN to infer significant wave height using estimates provided by the Spotter buoy as ground truth.

Theoretical studies show that the initial unfiltered signal contains information about the sea surface state, including wind wave parameters. Physical laws describing the intensity of the signal reflected from the rough surface are the basis of the classical approaches for significant wave height (SWH) estimation. Nevertheless, the latest research claims the possibility of SWH approximation using machine learning models. Both classical and AI-based approaches require in situ data collected during expensive sea expeditions or with wave monitoring systems. An alternative to real data is generation of synthetic radar images with certain wind wave parameters. This Fourier-based approach is capable of modelling the sea clutter images for wind waves of any given height. Assuming a fully-developed sea, we generate synthetic images from the Pierson–Moskowitz wave spectrum. After that, we apply an unsupervised learning using synthetic radar images to train the convolutional part of the neural network as the encoding part of the autoencoder.

The measurements commonly come with noise, anomalies, and gaps of various natures. These anomalies result in biased GHG flux estimates. There are a number of empirical and heuristic approaches for filtering noise and anomalies, as well as for gap-filling. These approaches are characterized by many tuning parameters that are commonly adjusted by an expert, which is a limiting factor for large-scale deployment of GHG monitoring stations. In this study, we propose an alternative approach for anomaly detection in high-frequency measurements of GHG concentration and wind speed. Our approach is based on machine learning techniques. This approach is characterized by a lower number of tuning parameters. The goal of our study is to develop a fully automated data preprocessing routine based on machine learning algorithms. We collected the dataset of high-frequency GHG concentration and wind speed measurements from one of the carbon measurement test areas. In order to compare anomaly detection algorithms, we labeled anomalies in a subset of this dataset. We present two approaches for anomaly detection, namely: (a) identification of outliers based on the error magnitude in time series statistical forecasts performed by a machine learning (ML) algorithm; and (b) classification of anomalies using an ML model trained on the labeled dataset of outliers we mentioned above. We compared the approaches and algorithms based on the F1-score metric assessed with respect to an expert-labeled subset of anomalies in GHG concentration and wind speed time series. Within the forecast-error based approach, we trained several ML models: the ARIMA autoregression method, the CatBoost model for autoregression, the CatBoost model for forecasting employing additional features, and the LSTM artificial neural network. Within the supervised classification approach, we tested the CatBoost classification model. We demonstrate that ML models for forecasting deliver a high quality of time series prediction within the autoregression approach. We also show that the anomaly identification method based on the autoregression approach delivers the best quality with the F1-score reaching <span>(0.812)</span>.</p>","PeriodicalId":711,"journal":{"name":"Moscow University Physics Bulletin","volume":"78 1 supplement","pages":"S138 - S148"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139500977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subsequent analysis of the dependences of the parameters of these contours on some external conditions in which the spectra are obtained may reveal some regularities that bear information about the physical processes taking place in the object. The problem with the required decomposition is that such a decomposition in the presence of noise in spectra is an incorrect inverse problem. Therefore, this problem is often solved by advanced optimization methods that are less likely to become stuck in local minima, such as genetic algorithms (GA). In the conventional version of GA, all individuals are similar regarding the probabilities and implementation of the main genetic operators (crossover and mutation) and the procedure of selection. In their preceding studies, the authors tested the gender GA (GGA), where the individuals of the two genders differ in terms of the mutation probability (higher for males) and the selection procedures for crossover (with the number of crossovers limited for females). In this study, we introduce additional differences between the genders in the procedures of selection and mutation.
