Research Interests:
My research currently focuses on the development of regional-scale coastal ocean observation networks. Research on the sustained components of the system include the testing of new ocean color algorithms in coastal regions using data acquired from the international constellation of satellites, the development of dual-use multi-static HF radar networks for surface current mapping and ship-tracking, and the development of systems to coordinate the operation of fleets of long-duration autonomous underwater gliders. Methods to use the observatory for data assimilation, model validation and adaptive sampling are being developed and tested in the field. Coupled physical/biological scientific applications in the New York Bight include topographic influences on recurrent coastal upwelling, the effect of coastal upwelling on seabreeze, and the atmospheric forcing of buoyant river plumes.
