Ocean Plume Tracking with Unmanned Surface Vessels: Algorithms and Experiments [PDF]
Pollution plume monitoring using autonomous vehicles is important due to the adverse effect of pollution plumes on the environment and associated monetary losses. Using the advection-diffusion plume dispersion model, we present a control law design to track dynamic concentration level curves.
