Dynamical Systems Theory and Lagrangian Data Assimilation in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics FY 2013 (October 1, 2012 - September 30, 2013)

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to improve our understanding and predictive capability for three dimensional, time-dependent ocean circulation. Our main objective is to develop modeling approaches, theory and observational diagnostics that will allow a better understanding of the role of processes that are intrinsically three dimensional and time varying. We hope to use this knowledge to inform parameterizations and predictions, and also to guide observational strategies, including strategies for autonomous underwater sensors and vehicles.
