|
Summary of Field Work: |
Measure optical properties of upper ocean; coordinate with airborne LIDAR sensing.
Test AUV T-REMUS (Lou Goodman) in upper ocean.
Test distrubance of dye patch by towed instruments. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Regional-size ship with capacity for c. 12 scientists for 7 days, with three different operations, and a fair amount of equipment. CTD winch and tow point. Small boat for AUV operations. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
My grant is just a small part of the overall ONR DRI, which is called "Scalable Lateral Mixing and Coherent Tutbulence". 2010 and later years are expected to be funded in due course. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
6/7/2010 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Avoid July through October due to Hurricane season. Avoid earlier than late May due to less clear water and LIDAR not being ready. Avoid late June due to probable commitment of the aircraft. |
