Predictability of Particle Trajectories in the Ocean

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is to determine optimal sampling strategies for drifting observing systems, such as buoys and gliders, in order to enhance prediction of particle motion in the ocean, with potential applications to ecological, search and rescue, floating mine problems, and design of real-time observing systems.
