Sea surface temperature (SST) is a fundamental oceanic parameter for understanding climate trends and variability. Since the early 1980s, SSTs have been retrieved globally using inverse methods from measured radiation through several satellites. One essential goal is the generation of accurate long-term satellite SST datasets for near-real-time anomaly and trend detection. However, even after reprocessing, satellite SST requires correction for residual biases in the data, which is a challenging task due to limited in situ data and potential nonlinear bias characteristics. In this study, we focus on improving Meteorological Operational Satellite-A Metop-A ) SST bias correction using machine learning algorithms and compare several algorithms. Light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), a tree-based gradient boosting model, demonstrates the best performance and significantly reduces spatial SST bias and root-mean-square error (RMSE) for both daytime and nighttime. In addition, it is confirmed that LGBM improves satellite bias in terms of spatiotemporal characteristics by effectively reducing seasonal bias patterns that appear in tropical and midlatitude regions. Although some residual errors remain in polar regions and regions with high SST fluctuations, these results show the remarkable potential of machine learning for correcting satellite SST bias.
