Title: Early Student Support for Understanding the ocean atmosphere coupling in the Northern Indian Ocean: Developing a new profiling platform Aurelia
Abstract
Our involvement in the ASIRI and MISOBOB project has shown an immediate need for a new profiler that would take shallow profiles during Air-Sea interaction experiments. This proposal is to support a graduate veteran (honorably discharged from USAF) student develop a new low cost platform capable of taking multiple profiles in the upper ocean, especially in the tropics and coastal oceans. The profiler would serve as a mixed layer profiler for current and any future ONR supported fieldwork. This student will be involved in ONR supported MISOBOB and other projects. The device design started as a senior design project three years back and has resulted in a working prototype recently tested in a tank facility at UMass Dartmouth, with a provisional patent application being filed soon. This 18 month proposal is to carry out ocean tests, and develop a new form factor which will be even cheaper and sonobuoy deployment compatible, while supporting the veteran student for his graduate (masters) work
