Lagrangian Turbulence and Transport in Semi-enclosed Basins and Coastal Regions
Abstract
The long-term goal of this project is the development and application of new methods of investigation for the use of Lagrangian data and other emerging in-situ and remote instruments (drifters, HF radar, gliders and satellite) that provide information on upper ocean advection. Special attention is given to the development of new techniques for data analysis and assimilation in Eulerian numerical models for the prediction of Lagrangian transport in coastal flows. The project has the following specific objectives pursued during the last year of funding: 1) To use methods for velocity reconstruction from model outputs and drifter data to improve the prediction of sonobuoy trajectories in an operational setting. 2) To use HF radar and drifter data to characterize and predict transport properties in coastal flows. 3) To participate to the planning, execution and data analysis of a Rapid Environment Assessment experiment in the coastal ocean (Ligurian Sea, Mediterranean Sea).s
