ABSTRACT
USNs c an perform adaptive s ampling o f t he t hree-dimensional (3D) c oastal ocean environment. Th ey can carry out important underwater tasks such as pollution monitoring, ocean/wind monitoring, and biological monitoring. Pollution monitoring c ould he lp to fi nd the level of metals such as lead in water. Ocean/ wind monitoring is important to analyze climate change, weather forecast, or the understanding of the eff ect of human activities on marine ecosystems. Biological monitoring could be used to keep track of fi sh or microorganisms.
