Hybrid sea surface temperature inversion model for the South China sea based on IMLP and DBN

Sea surface temperature (SST) is a key variable in the study of the global climate system and one of the important parameters in the process of air-sea interaction. Therefore, the demand for SST is developing towards high quality and high precision. In this paper, the ability of the multi-layer perceptron (MLP) optimized by the Aquila optimizer (AO) to solve nonlinear problems and the advantages of the deep belief network (DBN) to effectively process complex data are used to construct the IMLP-DBN inversion algorithm. The algorithm takes into account the influences of atmospheric conditions and satellite zenith angles. The data set is the infrared remote sensing data of the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the actual measurement data of buoys on sunny days and few clouds. Analysis of the inversion results shows that the root mean square error (RMSE) of the inversion value and the measured value is 0.14, and the sum of square errors (SSE) is 0.78. Compared with the MOD28 product data, the RMSE and SSE of the inversion are reduced by 66% and 24%, respectively.
