Slides presented by Kevin Balem, LOPS/IFREMER, at the Blue-Cloud webinar "Test the Virtual Labs - Marine Environmental Indicators" on 25 May 2022.
The Ocean Regimes indicator is part of the Marine Environmental Indicators Virtual Lab, and based on the same clustering method as for the Ocean Pattern indicator, a machine learning approach based on a Gaussian probabilistic method, but applied to a dataset of ocean time series (Chlorophyll-a, SST…). The time series are gathered into clusters depending on their seasonal variability. For this indicator, spatial coherences can be revealed when plotting the different classes in a map. The service offers users a flexible and innovative approach to perform statistical analyses on ocean dataset.
