Course Description
This course focuses on modeling and simulation (M&S) issues in ocean environments. While Virtual Environments (VEs) serve as M&S tools. The design of effective VE systems needs realistic physical environments. This course will study the basic physics of ocean environments, visualization of ocean from satellites, visualization of the ocean from Navy METOC model output, METOC information flow in M&S, impacts of environment on human behavior, M&S, and real physically-based modeling.
