Ocean Science Educator Award.
Abstract
The award was made to Professor Richard W. Sternberg at the University of Washington, School of Oceanography. Dr Nels J. Sultan, a coastal engineer, was selected by Dr Sternberg to fill the position of Research Associate - Postdoctoral funded by the award. The focus of Dr Sultan's research efforts has been to apply Particle Image Velocimetry to field measurements in and near the surf zone. A research plan was developed and executed which involved acquiring a laboratory PIV system from TSI, Inc., adapting it for measurements in the field and taking it to Duck, North Carolina, for measurements in the ocean at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Field Research Facility. The Sensor Insertion System was used to deploy the instruments in the ocean. Successful experiments were performed in July 1996. Data was acquired and analyzed. Results have been reported at seminars and via publications and other activities.
