The Stevens Integrated Maritime Surveillance and Forecast System: Expansion and Enhancement

Abstract

The long-term goal of the project is to develop an advanced, integrated system of oceanographic, meteorological, and vessel surveillance sensors and littoral ocean forecasting models to allow for the real-time assessment of ocean, weather, environmental, and vessel traffic conditions throughout the New York Harbor region, and the forecast of conditions in the near and long-term and under specific threat scenarios. In the long-term, the observation and modeling systems will be linked in a unique fashion, whereby the model forecast system will be enhanced by data assimilation, and the observing system will be enhanced by model-directed observations and model-assisted data interpolation.
