Adaptive Sampling and Prediction

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.
