Lagrangian Turbulence and Transport in Semi-enclosed Basins and Coastal Regions
Abstract
The long-term goal of this project is the development and application of new methods of investigation for the use of Lagrangian data and other emerging in-situ and remote instruments (drifters, gliders, HF radar and satellite) that provide information on upper ocean advection. Special attention is given to the development of new techniques for data fusion and assimilation of data in Eulerian numerical models, with focus on coastal flows. The project has the following specific objectives: (1) To test the impact of Lagrangian data assimilation of Argo float trajectories in the framework of operational models (2) To develop and test new methods for assimilation and fusion of tracer data with numerical model outputs. (3) To investigate and improve prediction of upper ocean fronts in coastal areas.
