Abstract
The University Research Initiative Program is a cooperative project
between woods Hole oceanographic Institution, Massachusetts Institute of
Technology and Harvard. The objectives of this 5-year Office of Naval
Research funded program are to advance the state of the art in ocean data
telemetry, interpretation of remotely sensed data from satellite, and
numerical modeling of ocean circulation. Ocean data telemetry is being
addressed by several development projects whose aim is to reliably
transfer data from in situ oceanographic instruments to laboratory
computers on the shore. The satellite oceanography group is developing
expertise in analyzing, manipulating, displaying and archiving data from
all of the major satellite oceanographic sensors. The numerical modeling
initiative is working on a family of circulation models which can be
connected at their boundaries to cover the important mesoscale and basin
wide flow regimes. These ambitious plans are intended to bring new
technologies developed in the communications, electronics, satellite
sensing and computer science fields into everyday use in oceanography so
that they can be ready for the global science programs planned for the
1990's.
