Measurements of 3-D Circulation and Particles Dispersion in Skagit Bay From Lagrangian Drifters and a New Littoral Ocean Observing System

Abstract

The long term scientific objective is to study the hydrodynamics of near-shore environments with special focus on the spatial structures of the flow that dominate erosion, transport and dispersion processes. We also aim to provide a methodology to test the validity of numerical simulations.
