AI model could ‘revolutionise’ marine operational decision-making

A new artificial intelligence (AI) model shows potential to forecast ocean currents in the Gulf of Mexico from just a laptop, according to new research.

The AI-based model, developed by researchers at the Met Office and the University of Exeter, is already helping to redefine how new technologies can support marine operational decision-making, with the work recently recognised by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) Best Paper Award 2025.
