Adaptive Beach Monitoring

Abstract

The long-term goal of the Marine Physical Laboratory s Adaptive Beach Monitoring (ABM) program is to determine the capabilities of small on-shore and off-shore seismoacoustic arrays along with directional wave and current sensors to provide the amphibious force commander with a covert monitoring capability of shore-based as well as near-shore enemy forces, near-shore current and wave dynamics, and beach surf conditions.
