In-situ and Land-Based Remote Sensing of River Inlets and Their Interaction with Coastal Waters: Mouth of Columbia River

Abstract

Principal research goals are to characterize the physics and fluid dynamics which exist at the Mouth of the Columbia River. Coming from the relatively benign environment of the New River Inlet (RIVET I), this DRI will provide much stronger flows, larger waves, and more dynamic signals for our remote sensing instruments to observe. A by-product of the observational program will be the development of sensing capabilities that may have Naval interest.
