Enhanced Predictability Through Lagrangian Observations and Analysis
Abstract
This effort is closely linked with our effort on ONR grant N00014-00-1-0019. We are motivated to develop strategies for the deployment of drifting sensor arrays that maximize the amount of environmental information collected with the fewest sensors. Two critical concerns are: maintaining array position inside a region of interest, and minimizing array distortion during the deployment. Our primary long-term research goal is to quantify submesoscale stirring process. Calculating the origin and fate of particles is an essential part of our analysis. A better understanding of submesoscale stirring will contribute to improved drifter array deployment strategies.
