1 AOSN Monterey Bay Experiment: Creating Sustainable Ocean Observation/Prediction Systems

2 AOSN II Objectives: To design and build an adaptive coupled observation/modeling system. The system should be sustainable in its operation and capable of being readily relocated, in its final form. Use autonomous in situ platforms to achieve economic operation. Use oceanographic models to assimilate data from a variety of platforms and sensors into synoptic views of oceanographic fields and fluxes. Adapt deployment of mobile assets to improve performance. Test performance of the system in a quantitative fashion. Post results in real-time. Use the results of those tests to guide research and development to improve system performance.

30 Evaluate value added by models Opportunities Predictive skill, observation guidance, etc. Model improvements (tides, etc.) Adaptive sampling strategies (optimization of array, targeted observations, reflexive strategies, etc.) Optimization of observation suite Platform & sensor mix docking? Operational strategies (e.g. glider protection) Communications Analysis tools - OSE/OSSE development of real-time systems & DMA. Model-derived products (LCS, etc.) System engineering & portability provide transition path as way to focus and accelerate development?
