Assessing sea surface nitrate (SSN) concentrations and dynamics is crucial for understanding marine ecosystem health, yet optical remote sensing of SSN remains challenging because of the lack of distinct spectral features. While various global-scale SSN regression and machine learning algorithms based on SSN-environment variable relationships have been developed, the prediction accuracy and spatiotemporal resolution of their applications continue to face limitations. Additionally, there has been relatively little …
