Abstract

This research is based on artificial neural network methods. The Self-Organizing Map network (KOHONEN’S network) allowing to organize our study area and the perceptron network is applied to modeling our data. The objective is to predict the variation of sea surface salinity in the southeastern part of Madagascar. The study area, is delimited by East longitudes 48°E to 54°E and South latitudes 22°S to 28°S. Monthly salinity data collected from the NOAA site covering 38 years period (1980 to 2017) were studied. In this case, we took the first 5 meters of ocean depth. Our study area is classified into three distinct sub-areas. The variation of monthly salinity in this region is around 33.90 PSU to 34.14 PSU and it also varies with latitude. Each model adopted by the prediction has confirmed that the salinity of the ocean in the next 10 years will become increasingly salty.
