description The spatiotemporal multimodal variations in sea surface temperature refer to its diverse changes across different temporal and spatial scales. Understanding and predicting these variations are crucial for climate research and marine ecosystem conservation. Data-driven methods for sea surface temperature prediction have made significant advancements in capturing these spatiotemporal multimodal variations. These data-driven techniques often utilize classic convolutional networks (CONV) and long short-term memory networks (LSTM) to extract spatial and temporal features. Leveraging these spatiotemporal multimodal features enhances the analysis of evolving patterns in sea surface temperature over time and space, thereby improving prediction accuracy. However, the separate processing of these two dimensions impedes the effective interaction and fusion of spatiotemporal features. In addition, both CONV and LSTM suffer from inadequate modeling of long-range dependencies, resulting in suboptimal prediction accuracy. To tackle these obstacles, we propose a global–local spatiotemporal information interactive fusion model. This model explicitly extracts temporal and spatial features, facilitating early interaction between temporal and spatial information and resolving the prior difficulty in achieving spatiotemporal consistency. This enables effective modeling of long-range dependencies, ultimately enhancing sea surface temperature prediction. We applied the model to forecast sea surface temperatures in the coastal waters of China (Bohai Sea, East China Sea, South China Sea) over durations of 1, 3, 7, 10, and 14 days. Furthermore, we introduced an iterative optimization scheme for predictions to enhance the model's stability in iterative forecasting. The findings demonstrate that, across various regional and temporal prediction scenarios, the model exhibits superior accuracy and iterative stability compared to existing methods.
