The COHSTREX (Coherent Structures in Rivers and Estuaries Experiment) project was implemented to determine the extent to which the remotely-sensed signatures of coherent structures can be used to initialize and constrain predictive models for river and estuarine flows. Infrared and microwave techniques that are mature and proven were used to detect and quantify coherent structures. An existing set of sophisticated codes for accurate simulation of three-dimensional unsteady fluid motions and scalar transports was used as the basis of the modeling effort. Our results demonstrated how currently available prediction schemes and observing systems (remote sensing and AUVs) can be combined for maximum operational impact.
