Project Personnel:

MIT Sea Grant
Project number: 2008-R/RC-108
Strategic Focus Area: Sustainable Coastal Development, Healthy Coastal Ecosystems
Coastal Modeling Data Assimilation Adaptive Sampling

The researchers are conducting data assimilation experiments using their newly developed integrated Massachusetts Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model. They will also refine their system to conduct marine environmental monitoring and design optimal ocean observing systems for Massachusetts waters.
