Mercator Ocean International and the Copernicus Marine Service have launched a new podcast series, Decoding the Ocean, exploring how ocean science and digital innovation transform observations into free, open and reliable ocean intelligence with real-world impact.
Episode 3: Artificial Intelligence – How AI is Transforming Ocean Knowledge
From predicting marine heatwaves and harmful algal blooms to generating global ocean forecasts, Artificial Intelligence is opening up new possibilities for ocean science and operational oceanography.In the third episode of Decoding the Ocean, discover how AI can help scientists make sense of growing volumes of ocean data, accelerate forecasting and make critical marine knowledge easier to access and use.
Featuring insights from Anass El Aouni and David Bazin from Mercator Ocean International, alongside Craig Donlon and Wiebke Pankauke, the episode explores how AI is helping turn ocean data into actionable knowledge and what these technologies could mean for the future of ocean science…

Mercator Ocean Bulletins
Our regularly updated bulletins provide essential data and forecasts on critical Ocean variables. These bulletins leverage Mercator Ocean’s in-house expertise, combining observational datasets and advanced numerical models.
Weekly Marine Heatwave BulletinsWeekly forecasts and analysis of marine heatwave events across the globe and throughout the year. Used datasets include observations (satellite sea surface temperature maps) and numerical model analyses (assimilating satellite and in situ observations) to derive 10-day marine heatwave forecasts.
Monthly Ocean Temperature BulletinsThe Ocean temperature bulletins provide a comprehensive overview of global ocean warming, highlighting new temperature records and their impact as a source of stress on marine ecosystems. These bulletins are available on a monthly basis throughout the year.
Seasonal Sea Ice BulletinsMercator Ocean oceanographers have been studying marine heatwaves across the global Ocean. They analyse a variety of datasets from observation analyses (satellite sea surface temperature maps) to model analyses (assimilating satellite and in situ observations) and model forecasts.
