Coastal upwelling brings cooler, saltier, and nutrient-rich deep water upward to the surface. Upwelling fronts support enriched phytoplankton and zooplankton populations, thus having great influences on ocean ecosystems. We have developed a method to enable a Wave Glider (an autonomous surface vehicle) to autonomously detect and track an upwelling front. Unlike an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)...
In this paper we present a method of using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) to detect and track an ocean front created by coastal upwelling. In an upwelling water column, temperature, salinity, and other properties are more homogeneous over depth as compared with non-upwelling water which is typically stratified. We use the vertical homogeneity of temperature as the classifier for differentiating...
