Satellite Remote Sensing of Large Scale Ocean Transients
Abstract
Long-term goal of this project include improved understanding of mesoscale, ocean surface transient response on time scales of days and longer using satellite observations of SST, topography, color and wind stress. Improved measurement of ocean temperature, color and topography fields determined by satellite observations. The long-range objectives of this project include study of transient behavior of western boundary currents and associated eddy structures, frontal processes, and their response to atmospheric forcing as observed by satellite remote sensing techniques. Attainment of these objectives requires development and implementation of quantitative assimilation methods for satellite data on both large and small scales supported by suitable tools that yield timely access to calibrated, navigated satellite observations.
