Goals:

Learn how to deploy, direct and utilize autonomous vehicles (and other mobile sensing platforms) most efficiently to sample the ocean, assimilate the data into numerical models in real or near-real time, and predict future conditions with minimal error.

  •  Demonstrate ability to provide adaptive sampling and evaluate benefits of adaptive sampling.

  •  Coordinate multiple assets to optimize sampling at the physical scales of interest.

  •  Understand dynamics of 3D upwelling centers.
