Aerial Surveys of the Ocean and Atmosphere off Central California

Abstract

The long-term goal is to enhance our understanding of air/sea interaction in the littoral zone by means of applying simple dynamical theories to high-quality observations obtained in the field. The Monterey Bay serves as our natural laboratory for these purposes. The grant is one of a continuing series of programs to study the bay funded by the National Ocean Partnership Program (NOPP) and the ONR Naval Ocean Modeling and Prediction (NOMP) Program.
