Environmental Measurements Path Planner (EMPath) User's Manual

Abstract

A suite of sensors in an oceanographic area of interest may be optimized with the use of a Genetic Algorithm. The purpose of the Environmental Measurements Path Planner (EMPath) is to use and execute a genetic algorithm to generate optimal search plans for a suite of sensors based upon constituent cost-functions (CCF) contained in an input netcdf file. EMPath has a built-in to pre-processor for environmental ocean model data to determine the largest area of model forecast uncertainty for the input file. The User's Manual discusses all possible options for the EMPath as well as required directory setups.
