Coastal Ocean Modeling and Observation Program

Abstract

The long-term goal of our coordinated ONR/NOPP research efforts is the development of a relocatable coastal ocean forecasting system consisting of a coupled atmospheric-hydrodynamic-optical data assimilative numerical model and a multi-platform real-time adaptive sampling network for use in physical/bio-optical applications worldwide. Specific current objectives include: (a) Implementation of a comprehensive coastal prediction system incorporating atmospheric, benthic and bio-optical submodels; (b) Construction of a shipboard/autonomous subsurface sampling network beneath spatially extensive remotely sensed surface observations; (c) Development of data-assimilative and visualization interfaces for model directed adaptive sampling; and (d) Evaluation of nowcast/forecast skill in multiple regions.
