A Predictive Framework for Shipborne Wind Speed Measurement Correction Based on Self-Supervised Contrastive Learning

Accurate measurement of wind speed on maritime vessels is crucial for weather and sea condition forecasting, safe navigation, power generation, hydrological simulation, and other applications. However, the precision of measurements may be subject to certain errors due to factors such as vessel motion and environmental conditions. To enhance the precision of shipborne wind speed measurement, this paper introduces an innovative approach based on contrastive learning. Through proficient feature extraction and the application of a self-supervised contrastive learning algorithm, this method extracts features of varying granularity from marine observational data to predict and correct shipborne wind speed measurements. To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to validate contrastive learning in the intelligent analysis of marine observational data. Validation experiment results demonstrate the outstanding performance of this method in both single-step and multi-step predictions, showcasing higher efficacy and robustness compared to alternative approaches.
