Compact Ocean Models Enable Onboard AUV Autonomy and Decentralized Adaptive Sampling

Abstract

The long-term goal is to improve synoptic observations and enhance ocean prediction through development of new capabilities for persistent underwater ocean surveillance. Multi-platform ocean observing systems are typically centrally controlled from shore, limiting their ability to adapt to new observations which would inform more effective sampling strategies.
