Predictability of Particle Trajectories in the Ocean

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is to determine optimal sampling strategies for drifting buoys, in order to enhance prediction of particle motion in the ocean, with potential applications to ecological, search and rescue, floating mine problems, design of observing systems and development of navigation algorithms.
