This paper summarizes the findings of a workshop convened in the United States in 2018 to
discuss methods in coastal and estuarine modeling and to propose key areas of research …

The science of autonomy is the systematic development of fundamental knowledge about
autonomous decision making and task completing in the form of testable autonomous …

Shallow water acoustics (SWA), the study of how low and medium frequency sound
propagates and scatters on the continental shelves of the worlds oceans, has both technical …

In this work we derive an exact, closed set of evolution equations for general continuous
stochastic fields described by a Stochastic Partial Differential Equation (SPDE). By …

As the nation's economic activities, security concerns, and stewardship of natural resources
become increasingly complex and globally interrelated, they become ever more sensitive to …

The goal of adaptive sampling in the ocean is to predict the types and locations of additional
ocean measurements that would be most useful to collect. Quantitatively, what is most useful …

We develop an accurate partial differential equation-based methodology that predicts the
time-optimal paths of autonomous vehicles navigating in any continuous, strong, and …

Complex dynamical systems are used for predictions in many domains. Because of
computational costs, models are truncated, coarsened or aggregated. As the neglected and …

Any model order reduced dynamical system that evolves a modal decomposition to
approximate the discretized solution of a stochastic PDE can be related to a vector field …

Ocean scientists have dreamed of and recently started to realize an ocean observing
revolution with autonomous observing platforms and sensors. Critical questions to be …
