Goal: To provide (sub)-mesoscale environmental fields/picture to MIT and PLUSNet, using new multi-scale environmental data-driven forecasting systems and new HU-MIT physical-acoustical adaptive sampling schemes

Specific objectives are to: (i) Research and develop a new nested sub-mesoscale (non)-hydrostatic

ocean modeling system within coarser regional domains for improved acoustic predictions

(ii) Investigate and carry out physical-acoustical-seabed estimation and data assimilation

(iii) Evaluate oceanic sub-mesocale parameterizations and study selected sub-mesoscale/mesoscale interactions and their acoustical impacts

(iv) Collaborate with other efforts sponsored by ONR and NRL

(v) Lead the environmental PLUSNet scientific research, coordinating the HU and Scripps contributions (e.g. internal tide conversions, sub-mesoscale eddy mixing and atmospheric forcing)

• Environmental and acoustic nowcasts and predictions up to 00Z Aug 26 are available from: http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet

• http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet/Aug25/plusnet_product.html

• Product files are in: http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet/Products• Upwelling event is ending and our forecasts indicate that relaxation conditions (warmer surface temperatures and no wind-driven currents) will start tomorrow. See for example tomorrow's afternoon surface sound speed and current vectors: http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet/Aug25/PN/Forecast/ssp000_aug27_fcst_00Z_PN.gif

• Based on our studies of the past week of transmission loss estimates, relaxation conditions correspond to -more- mean loss at 100Hz and 400Hz than upwelling conditions. The average difference at 100-400Hz and at 10km range is about 3 to 8db more mean loss. It would be very interesting to find out if the measured mean acoustic performance (TL)at these frequencies over 7 to 15km ranges is lower tomorrow afternoon than it has been in the past days of upwelling conditions.• Vertically averaged current velocities in the PLUSNet ops area are expected to be to the northwest, following the coastline. For example, for tomorrow morning: http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet/Aug25/PN/Forecast/vave_PN_aug26_fcst_12Z.gif

• Surface velocities are expected to be patchy. For drifting behaviors, we recommend to combine it with a vertical yoyo so as to be drifting in vertically averaged currents, which are forecast to the northwest.

• Transmission loss predictions available from: http://oceans.deas.harvard.edu/PLUSNet/Prolog/Aug25/index.html

PLUSNetPLUSNetAPL- HU Collaboration: Use and Evaluation of

Surface Drift Predictions by the Seaglider Team

Bob Miyamoto, Bruce Howe and APL collaborators utilized our HOPS ocean model predictions of surface currents to plan their drifting missions

APL uses the HOPS currents to compute a drift prediction. The result (green curve) is compared to the observed glider drift while on the surface.

Case 1: better agreement than dreamed! Note sharp east-west gradient captured by the nested ocean models including tides

Case 2: Not good. Atmos. and ocean models seem in phase error in time (see |u| change) and space (see weaker currents to the east)

PLUSNetPLUSNetHU MB06 Deliverables and Needs

Deliverables

• Substantial measured T,S data and data-driven ocean-acoustic model estimates, which we will continue to improve and distribute

• Model estimates also available in relocated area (Monterey Bay)

Needs

• To write collaborative papers, we need quantitative evidence (plots, data) to support successful or failed usage of our estimates, e.g:

• Marc Stewart’s email based on our SE currents predictions in S corner of domain : “Pierre, You'll be interested to know that our Restech reported substantial SE surface current in the S corner of the PLUSNet box today as she attempted to recover a Bluefin in an Avon. I personally doubted it, but now I know better! Thanks, Marc”

• For FY07, PLUSNet should create a real-time coop web-page where such feedback and other data can be posted (e.g. Warren Fox’s suggestion: Data transfer interface / client-server architecture)

23

PLUSNetPLUSNet

2. Coupled Physical-Acoustical Data Assimilation in real-time

• Integrate and optimize physical-acoustical DA software with Mini-HOPS and AREA

• Initiate coupled physical-acoustical-seabed estimation and DA

•Couple mini-HOPS/ESSE with selected sonar performance prediction (End-2-End System)

Research-Work: FY07 Focus in Blue

1. Multi-Scale and Non-Hydrostatic Nested Ocean Modeling

•Research and develop relocatable sub-mesoscale nested modeling capability: • Higher-resolution hydrostatic model (Mini-

HOPS)• HOPS coupled with non-hydrostatic models (2D to 3D: Lamb, Smolarkiewicz or MIT-GCM)

•Compare parameterizations of sub-mesoscales and boundary layers, and evaluate with HOPS and ROMS (run at HU, continue to collaborate with Scripps)

3. Acoustical-Physical Nonlinear Adaptive Sampling with ESSE and AREA• Implement and progressively demonstrate in FY05-06-07 automated adaptive

environmental sampling, integrating mini-HOPS and ESSE with AREA/NAFCON• Continue ocean-TL predictions (done for first time during MB06)• Compute TL on denser spatial grids and for varied (higher) frequencies (with APL)• Provide field and uncertainty estimates to NAFCON and coordinate with Penn State

for real-time display (towards end-to-end TDAs)
