SWIFT Observation of winds, waves, and boundary layers over the inner shelf

Abstract

The long-term goal was to understand the dynamics of the Inner Shelf region of the coastal ocean, with intent to improve the skill of numerical forecast models and the interpretation of remote sensing products. This project made detailed in situ observations of physical processes in support of this goal, including wind forcing, surface wave motions, boundary layer dynamics, and turbulence.
