Coastal and Semi-Enclosed Seas
Abstract
LONG-TERM GOALS. To develop, test, demonstrate and evaluate nowcast/forecast systems for coastal and semienclosed seas. These systems are developed and tested in this 6.2 program and then transitioned into a 6.4 program for final evaluation and testing under near real time operational conditions. OBJECTIVES. The objective of this project is to determine the important processes that affect the oceanography of semi-enclosed seas, both deep and shallow, that are of Navy interest. This is accomplished through the use of a combination of numerical models and observations, including the assimilation of data. Which processes are included in the numerical models depends upon their importance to the region of Navy interest being modeled. As an example, tides are more important in shallow than in deep semi-enclosed seas. Once the appropriate model is developed and tested within this program, it is transitioned into the U.S. Navy s 6.4 programs for advanced developmental testing before transition into operations, the ultimate goal of the project.
