The authors make innovative use of seismic data to gain new insights into ocean dynamics, particularly regarding nonlinear internal waves and mixing processes.

This is a timely paper given the recent rise in data-driven and AI-based weather forecasting. It offers two key contributions. First, the paper provides (potentially the first, but at least one of the first) comparisons of AI-based and physics-based weather forecasting models based on station data (rather than the commonly used comparisons based on gridded ERA5 data). And second, the paper assesses and quantifies the effect of statistical post-processing on forecasts from AI-based weather models, which may also be the first of its kind.

This is a new and timely contribution to the blocking phenomena in atmospheric circulation and extremes that result. The latter are stimulating and of fairly general interest to the non-linear geoscience community and beyond.

This paper tests the ability of Artificial Intelligence methods, and more specifically Deep Learning, to eliminate the Gaussian noise that disturbs the data of a dynamic system. The authors demonstrate this using a highly chaotic model as a hard test case.
