Rapid urbanization in coastal regions presents complex challenges for environmental management and public safety. Accurate, high-resolution wind field monitoring is critical for urban disaster mitigation, infrastructure resilience, and pollutant dispersion analysis in these densely populated areas. However, utilizing massive multi-source satellite remote sensing data for precise prediction remains difficult due to the spatiotemporal heterogeneity caused by the land–sea interface. To address this, this study proposes a novel lightweight Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI) framework (DA-DSC-UNet) designed to predict wind fields in coastal urban environments (e.g., Fujian, China). We constructed a dataset by integrating multi-source satellite scatterometer products (including Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT), Fengyun-3E (FY-3E), and Quick Scatterometer (QuickSCAT)) and buoy observations. The framework employs a UNet architecture enhanced with dual attention mechanisms (Efficient Channel Attention (ECA) and Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM)) to adaptively extract features from remote sensing signals, focusing on critical spatial regions like urban coastlines. Additionally, depthwise separable convolutions (DSCs) are introduced to ensure the model is lightweight and efficient for potential deployment in urban monitoring systems. Results demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms existing deep learning models (reducing Mean Absolute Error (MAE) by 14–25.8%) and exhibits exceptional robustness against observational noise. This work demonstrates the potential of deep learning in enhancing the value of remote sensing data for urban resilience, sustainable development (SDG 11), and environmental monitoring in complex coastal zones.
