Unsupervised Learning Reveals Geography of Global Ocean Dynamical Regions

Dynamically similar regions of the global ocean are identified using a barotropic vorticity (BV) framework from a 20‐year mean of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean state estimate at 1° resolution. An unsupervised machine learning algorithm, K‐means, objectively clusters the sta...
