Dynamics and Acoustics in the Coupled Slope and Shelf Ocean. Simulation, Analysis and Synthesis of Integrated Acoustic and Oceanographic Data
Abstract
The overall goals are: (1) to integrate the Shelf-Break PRIMER (Lynch et al., 1997) and CMO (Williams, 1995) data into an interdisciplinary synthesis of CMO and PRIMER in the context of the NOPP Littoral Ocean Observing and Prediction System (LOOPS) (LOOPS Group, 1997); and, (2) to identify generally relevant physical processes for important physical/interdisciplinary interactions in this region. The objectives of this research are: (1) complete dynamical simulations of the PRIMER and CMO physical fields; (2) collaborate with the acoustic modeling community in the use of coupled ocean prediction and acoustic propagation models for process and sensitivity studies; (3) determine effective methods of assimilating tomographic data, together with other in situ and remotely sensed data; and, (4) to explore, from a generic viewpoint, physical input into dominant interactions in the physical-acoustical- optical-biological-chemical-geological ocean.
