Enhanced Ocean Predictability through Optimal Observing Strategies
Abstract
The effort funded under this project is part of our study of the dynamics determining transport characteristics of the ocean and their predictability. We are interested in identifying critical structures in the flow field, assessing their variability, and improving their predictability. This is a necessary element for making progress towards the overarching goal of forecasting the origin and fate of fluid particles in the ocean with an estimate of the forecast's uncertainty. Applications of this work vary widely, from biology to climate dynamics to specific Navy operational interests such as extended AUV missions and targeted sensor deployment.
