Transitioning Results From Recent ONR WESTPAC Field Programs to Operational Use

Abstract

The long-term goal is to enhance our understanding of coastal oceanography by means of applying simple dynamical theories to high-quality observations obtained in the field. Objectives: a) Continue analyzing recent data sets from the Western Pacific operating region (WESTPAC) and facilitate transitioning these basic research outcomes to operational use. b) Improve our understanding of the circulation in the western Subtropical Countercurrent (STCC) and its impact on the neighboring boundary currents and downstream variability in the western North Pacific Ocean.
