| Summary: | Abstract A data‐driven emulator for the baroclinic double gyre ocean simulation is presented in this study. Traditional numerical simulations using partial differential equations (PDEs) often require substantial computational resources, hindering real‐time applications and inhibiting model scalability. This study presents a novel approach employing Fourier neural operators to address these challenges in an idealized double‐gyre ocean simulation. We propose a deep learning approach capable of learning the underlying dynamics of the ocean system, complementing the classical methods. Additionally, we show how Fourier neural operators allow us to train the network at one resolution and generate ensembles at a different resolution. We find that there is an intermediate time scale where the prediction skill is maximized. |
