Monitoring ocean dynamics is extremely difficult due to its enormous physical dimensions and the wide range of spatio-temporal scales involved in its dynamical behaviour. It has been recently proposed that the most efficient way to monitor the ocean is through networks of small, intelligent and cheap robotic platforms. Drifting profiling floats and gliders were developed in this context. Floats move...
Frequently, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) must operate in turbulent ocean environments with complex spatio-temporal variability. Energetic flows, instabilities and currents can strongly perturb safety conditions and development of AUVs operations. A priori knowledge of this ocean variability would allow to adequately plan AUV missions, minimizing the possible negative effects of the environment...
