Stochastic Forcing for Ocean Uncertainty Prediction
Abstract
Our research vision is to develop and transform ocean modeling and data assimilation to quantify regional ocean dynamics on multiple scales. Our group creates and utilizes new models and methods for multiscale modeling, uncertainty quantification, data assimilation and the guidance of autonomous vehicles. We then apply these advances to better understand physical, acoustical and biological interactions. We seek both fundamental and applied contributions to build knowledge and benefit naval operations. A main focus of this research is the role of stochastic forcing on ocean uncertainty and variability predictions. The work includes collaborations with NRL-Stennis to prepare the transfer of a subset of the capabilities and software developed by our Multidisciplinary Simulation, Estimation, and Assimilation Systems (MSEAS) group. The research thrusts of interest to both NRL and MIT, as well as the specific goals of the work, are below.
