AIR-SEA INTERACTION SPAR BUOY SYSTEMS, BEACH TOWER AND DRONES FOR ESTIMATING FLUXES OVER THE COASTAL OCEAN
Abstract
Scientific goals of this project are to utilize satellite- and ship-based remote sensing techniques to study land-air-sea interaction processes in the inner shelf region between coastal ocean and surf zone (also known as surfzone transition region), where phenomena such as upwelling, downwelling, rip currents, and internal waves have significant effects on exchange processes and water characteristics. A good nderstanding of these processes is essential for a variety of operations involving ships, divers, acoustic instruments, optical instruments, etc. Theoretical studies and experiments performed so far have focused much more on the surf zone and on the coastal ocean, ignoring the region in between and leaving many open questions. ONR s Inner Shelf DRI tries to close the gap between surf zone and coastal ocean with comprehensive field measurements and modeling efforts focusing on the inner shelf. The contributions of this proposal focus on satellite measurements and ship-based marine X-band radar measurements.
