Adaptive Sampling in a Research Observatory During the Shallow Water 2006 Acoustics Experiment
Abstract
The long-term goal is to develop and demonstrate in a collaborative Mid-Atlantic Bight test-bed a coupled observation and data assimilative modeling capability that contributes to our understanding of continental shelf processes, provides societal benefits, and is relocatable worldwide in both collaborative and noncollaborative environments. Our approach will leverage the complementary capabilities of academic, industry and government groups through NOPP-style partnerships to develop new satellite remote sensing algorithms, new HF radar hardware and processing software, and new autonomous underwater vehicles and sensors for subsurface adaptive sampling. We will use the new technologies to sustain a continuous long-term presence in the Mid-Atlantic with enhanced coverage during an ongoing series of scientific process studies that include advanced data assimilation in coupled atmosphere/ocean physical, biological, biogeochemical, and sediment transport models. We will simultaneously develop and demonstrate the capability of a reach back cell to operate sustained autonomous ocean observing systems in remote locations world-wide.
