Microphysics and interactions of aerosols and fog on the northwest Atlantic Ocean

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
In the Grand Banks, aerosol size distributions were bimodal, aerosol and fog droplet concentrations were low, and fogs were shorter (<12 hours). In contrast, near Sable Island, aerosol size distributions had a single broad mode that was likely influenced by continental emissions, corresponding with higher aerosol and droplet concentrations as well as ...

Extreme Short-Term Prediction of Unmanned Surface Vessel Nonlinear Motion Under Waves

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Under complex hydrodynamic conditions, Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) exhibits non-stationary and nonlinear dynamic behaviors. Extreme short-term prediction of such nonlinear motion is therefore critical for ensuring navigational safety.

Enabling Under Ice Glider Operations: A Backseat Driver Approach

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polar Oceans are key locations for forcing global ocean circulation, influencing both global climate and biogeochemical cycles. Due to restricted access to these seasonally and perennially ice‐covered regions, these areas are severely undersampled.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...
