Optimal Sampling Strategies for Oceanic Applications

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. The long-term goals of this project include the development of objective and efficient tools for designing optimal sampling strategies for oceanic applications; and to develop and apply practical methods for ocean data assimilation. OBJECTIVES. The immediate scientific objective of this research is to develop an ensemble-based tool for the objective design of an optimal sampling strategy for long-term monitoring programs. Subsequently, this project aims to apply this tool for adaptive sampling to reduce errors in data assimilating predictive models.
