A Low-Cost Airborne EO Oceanographic Measurement System

Abstract

With the emphasis of the ONR Coastal Dynamics Programs on model-driven experiments, there is a need for reliable measurements to develop, drive and validate shoaling wave models. Measurements by research vessels and in situ instruments provide data at discrete points while measurements by satellite sensors provide only snapshots of a large area. This project seeks to develop a system capable of addressing the need for medium-area, time-series measurements for the advancement of shoaling-wave models, and this past year is an expansion of this SBIR project to support transition of developed capability to USN and USMC acquisition programs.
