Interpolation errors and oceanographic sampling

Autonomous Oceanographic Sampling Network

This proposal describes a program of work designed to contribute to the Navy's capabilities in mastering the mine warfare problem by developing and demonstrating fundamental capabilities needed for an Autonomous Oceanographic Sampling Network (AOSN). This includes the integration of AUV, ship, and moored sensors into a network test range. This range will support the development, testing, and de...

Acoustically Focused Oceanographic Sampling in Coastal Environments

A new oceanographic measurement concept, Acousti-cally Focused Ocean Sampling-AFOS, is presented, combining a tomographic network with small autonomous underwater vehicles. Using wireless local area network technology, the acoustic tomography data are recorded and processed in real time for achieving a low-resolution estimate of oceanographic parameters. The results are used to focus direct mea...
