GOATS'2000: Multi-scale Environmental Assessment
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOAL. Develop environmentally adaptive bi- and multi-static sonar concepts for autonomous underwater vehicle networks for detection and classification of proud and buried targets in very shallow water. OBJECTIVES. The objective of the environmental assessment component of the GOATS project is to develop integrated observation and modeling concepts for rapid environmental assessment of the shallow and very shallow water environment. Combining state-of-the-art adaptive observation capabiliies of the autonomous oceanographic sampling network (AOSN) with oceanographic modeling and data assimilaton concepts a nested environmental forecasting paradigm is developed, providing multi-scale environmental estimates for littoral mine countermeasures.
