Abstract

Marine chlorophyll content plays an important role in the global carbon cycle and climate change regulation. Based on machine learning and data mining techniques, this paper explores its key influencing factors and constructs a prediction model. Gray correlation analysis and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient method are used to screen out the main environmental variables, such as carbon dioxide concentration, pH, salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen, and the Random Forest Model is used to analyze the importance of the characteristics and predict the future trend. The results showed that the chlorophyll content was significantly correlated with the environmental factors, especially affected by CO2 concentration. The results of the study can provide data support and scientific basis for the management of ocean carbon sinks and climate change response strategies.
