REAL-TIME PHASE-RESOLVED OCEAN WAVE FORECAST WITH DATA ASSIMILATION ENABLED BY GPU-ACCELERATED COMPUTATION

The purpose of this project is to develop a new computational framework for the onboard real-time forecast of phase-resolved ocean wave field with data assimilation capability. The prediction and assimilation algorithms will be accelerated on a CPU-GPU hardware architecture for real-time applications. Integrated with the remote wave sensing technology, this work will lead to enhanced safety, efficiency and autonomy in marine operations.
