Neural operators provide fast surrogates for partial differential equation (PDE) solvers, but their reliability can degrade for high-dimensional spatial inputs and inverse or repeated inference. State-only training constrains solution values but not the learned input--output response. We study sensitivity-constrained neural operators (SC-NOs), which augment standard training with sampled solver-derived Jacobian supervision. Selected sensitivities from differentiable solvers or discrete adjoints are matched during training, allowing response information to be amortized across minibatches without imposing the full Jacobian at every update. We evaluate SC-NO on advection--diffusion and RANS--Spalart--Allmaras benchmarks, input-dimensionality scaling tests, long-horizon autoregressive rollout, and a shallow-water Tohoku tsunami source-inversion case. Sensitivity supervision improves forward prediction and yields larger gains in gradient-based inverse reconstruction of distributed fields. Scaling experiments show an improved accuracy--cost tradeoff for high-dimensional gridded inputs, while ablations indicate that state values and Jacobian information provide complementary supervision. In the tsunami case, SC-FNO reconstructs gridded seafloor deformation from sparse early gauge observations and forecasts subsequent wave propagation in a near-real-time proof-of-concept workflow. These results support sampled sensitivity supervision as a practical way to improve neural PDE surrogates when forward accuracy, inverse stability, robustness, and computational cost must be considered together.
