LONG-TERM GOALS The long-term goals of this research are to combine state-of-the-art remote sensing and in situ measurements with advanced numerical modeling (a) to characterize coherent structures in river and estuarine flows and (b) to determine the extent to which their remotely sensed signatures can be used to initialize and guide predictive models. OBJECTIVES Coherent structures are genera...
