The 2009 AOOS Field Experiment in Prince William Sound is on!
At a workshop of all the principal investigators of that project held in conjunction with the AMSS January 20, senior PI Dr. Carl Schoch led the team’s discussion on how to demonstrate the utility of the 3 major models being developed as a demonstration of the end to end system: from observations to data management to modeling to user products. If you would like to be involved in this initiative, or would like more information, contact the AOOS office.
