FloatCast Output for Guam: Arcterx2 Deployment -- Reference Prediction FloatCast Outputs
This page contains information related to the remote operation of autonomous oceans floats. The software used here is called FloatCast. Each section below contains relevant information from various points in the FloatCast workflow. The components highlighted are related to (1) the ocean surface flow forecasts, (2) the optimized float command files, (3) the float trajectory predictions, (4) and the scoring of candidate command sets. Data from all or some of these components may be posted below.

(3) Float Trajectory Predictions
Plots showing the predicted float trajectories are generated based on a particle model of the vehicle dynamics. In the model, the float moves in the same direction as the surface flow, but with a magnitude that decays exponentially with depth. List items below with the same number correspond to the same prediction data.
