The long-term goal of this study is to build an integrated circulation observation/prediction system where a variety of remote and in situ field observations can be assimilated into a numerical model to provide near real-time nowcasting and forecasting capabilities in the nearshore. Prepared in collaboration with the College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University, Corvallis, and the Dept. of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Geodetic Science, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University, Columbus.
