Argus III System Upgrade Grant

Abstract

The long-term goal of neashore processes research has been to develop a predictive understanding of the fluid dynamics of a random wave field shoaling over the complicated bathymetry of a natural beach, and the response of the beach to those overlying wave and current motions. Due to the complexity and nonlinearities of the system, predictions at most time scales depend on frequent data updates, likely acquired through innovative remote sensing techniques. The Argus Program, developed by the Coastal Imaging Lab (CIL), is one such approach (http://cil-www.coas.oregonstate.edu:8080). Technology developments in Argus are important to a range of nearshore dynamics research programs and apply readily to other remote sensing programs of Naval interest.
