NEMO Data Analysis and Environmental System Data Collection in Alternate Location Plan
Abstract
The Navy Electromagnetic Observatory (NEMO) is under development at the South Florida Ocean Measurement Facility (SFOMF). The strong western boundary current interacting with a steep and narrow continental shelf results in a very energetic ocean environment, which provides a unique setting for studying the electromagnetic signature of various oceanographic processes including internal wave solitons in a wide range of temporal and spatial scales. The new observatory, NEMO, succeeds the previous successful electromagnetic research at this location. NEMO is designed to provide the observations required for development and verification of the new generation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) models and algorithms for the noise reduction in naval magnetic surveillance systems. Though the NEMO results will be applicable to other western boundary current systems (Kuroshio Current, Agulhas Current), a plan will be developed in this project for data collection and the model verification in alternate environmental conditions.The Physical Oceanography Laboratory at Nova Southeastern Universitys Oceanographic Center conducted observational, computational, and theoretical studies in oceanography and magnetohydrodynamics from 1998 through 2020 in support of the US Navy. The long-term goal of this project is to support the development and validation of the MHD model of internal waves at the SFOMF range and planning the model assessment in alternate ocean conditions.
