NICOP - Measuring and predicting electro-magnetic fields due to ocean processes

Abstract

Measuring and predicting electro-magnetic fields due to ocean processes:a. The goal of the EM Ocean Observatory Project, and thus this proposal, is to improve the measurement, modeling, and understanding of the magnetic fields generated by oceanographic phenomena such as internal waves, eddies, fresh water lenses.b. Improved understanding of ocean EM phenomena, modeling and prediction of those phenomena, and the development of better sensors and environmental noise reduction techniques will benefit the US Navy in the following areas: magnetic anomaly detection, undersea surveillance and tracking of naval vessels, EM signature management, and EM emissions associated withsubmerged power transmission cables.c.
