Adaptive Sampling And Prediction Dynamical Systems Methods for Adaptive SamplingASAP Kickoff MeetingJune 28, 2004 Shawn C. Shadden (PI: Jerrold Marsden) California Institute of Technology
Methods for Studying Flow • First method: integration of trajectories Kathrin Padberg (padberg@math.uni-paderborn.de)
Methods for Studying Flow • Second method: trajectories with high expansion rates
Methods for Studying Flow • Third method: in-depth analysis of stretching (DLE) and transport barriers (LCS) LCS based on HF-radar data Drifter data collected from AOSNII Shadden, Lekien, Marsden (2004)
Information provided by Dynamical Systems theory Observables • Upwelling source • Barriers in the flow • Regions with qualitatively different dynamics. DS Structures • Regions of high DLE • Ridges of the DLE field, i.e. LCS, • LCS divide the domain in dynamical regions. LCS is a tool to help understand and visualize the global flow structure and dynamical patterns without having to compute and visualize each constituent trajectory.
Continue Developing Dynamical System Tools Task 1: • Explore and improve the use of 2-D LCS for Front Tracking /Prediction, and Lagrangian Predictions • Study Characteristic modes of flow • Find time-scale of dynamically unique modes • Use to compute corresponding LCS • Extend LCS to 3-D!
LCS for sensor coverage Task 2: • Use LCS to partition flow into regions of different characteristic behavior • Determining sampling regions for gliders is simplified • Correlation between DLE and local statistics • Find best time/location for deployment and recovery
LCS for Optimal Path Planning Task 3: • Use LCS to help reconfigure gliders during transit periods • Optimal Path vs LCS:(Preliminary result)
