Front Resolving Observational Network with Telemetry (FRONT)

Abstract

We're developing a cost-effective observation and prediction system for a dynamically complex region of the coastal ocean. Data-assimilative dynamical and biological models provide an integral part of the system. The models will assimilate data from a variety of in situ and remote sensors. Data telemetry to shore will use a wireless communications network. Our long-term goal is to implement and test a data-assimilative observation system that mitigates effects of undersampling, and allows forecasting of physical and biological fields.
