Projects

• Advanced Information Systems Technology (AIST) - Developing tools to manage the validation and assessment of model-data intercomparisons to more easily evaluate the performance of different hurricane models.
• Salinity Processes in the Upper Ocean Regional Study (SPURS) is exploring the salinity maximum region in the Atlantic Ocean using a plethora of oceanographic equipment and technology.
• Cal-Sim - CALSIM, developed by the Department of Water Resources, is a generalized water resources simulation model for evaluating operational alternatives of large, complex river basins.
