Lagrangian Analysis and Prediction of Coastal and Ocean Dynamics

   Working Groups
   Moderator: Arthur Mariano, University of Miami

The purpose of the working groups is to discuss important problems/scientific issues with collecting, analyzing and modeling Lagrangian data with the hope that solutions and ideas for the future will be generated.

On Monday, we will meet and pose several questions concerning Lagrangian data. On Tuesday and Thursday afternoon, we will break into smaller (~15 people) groups to discuss the issues, and on Friday, we will all reconvene at the end of the meeting to summarize any ideas that have been brought forth.

This is a preliminary list of questions, we encourage you to bring questions with you on Monday.

Questions:

• What is the real information content of profiling floats ?
  How can we use them for assimilation ? climatology ?
  
  
• How can we improve our understanding of turbulence from Lagrangian data ?
  
  
• What can an observationalist gain in terms of float and sampling design from theoretical and modeling studies ?
  
  
• What improvements in modeling, analysis and float design are needed for coastal environments and biological applications ?
