1. NPS Institutional Contributions Aircraft Overflights (RAMP, paduan, q.wang) –Plume Mapping (SST, color, visual) –Surface Heat Fluxes Expanded HF Radar Network (PADUAN, ramp) –Extend North of Ano Nuevo (Cal. Prop. 40, CIMT) –Assimilate Surface Velocities Into Models ARIES and REMUS Vehicles (HEALEY, ramp) –Virtual Mooring –Broadband high-speed communications Real-Time Moorings (RAMP, healey) –Northern Border “Anchor Point” –802.11b Surface Buoy POINT SUR ship surveys (ROSENFELD) –Perimeter observations, model initialization –NOT in NPS budget

2. NPS Top Three Tasks The Scientific Dynamics of 3-D upwelling centers –Why to they form where they do? –Need individual terms in the equations of motion Eddy/Undercurrent/Upwelling Center Interactions –What happens to the CUC when the MBE moves onshore? –Can we predict offshore vs. southward movement of the cold, upwelled water? Advection vs. Mixing –How much cold water “spreading” is due to advection from the center vs. mixing beneath an atmospheric jet? –3-D volume/heat balance: How much cold water is actually available to spread around?

3. NPS Top Three Tasks The Practical Achieve real-time observation and prediction of the coastal ocean circulation. Use Monterey Bay as a natural laboratory to learn how to do this elsewhere. Stated ASAP proposal goal: What is the minimum necessary and sufficient suite of observations required to keep the numerical assimilation and prediction schemes on track? How to develop a sustainable system? –Economical, Efficient, Useful

4. NPS Top Three Tasks The Enablers Flow of data from instruments to the laboratory via AUVs, buoys, cables, and aircraft –More “turnkey” acoustic and wireless telemetry –Automated QC/servers –Painless data availability to all Optimize use of limited assets through adaptive sampling and numerical prediction –Can/should we adapt the flight plans? –Can/should we adapt the ADCP sampling rates? Produce predictions/products that are useful to the general public (essential for sustainability)
