Title: The Innovations of Robert W. Helber
Introduction
Robert W. Helber is a notable inventor based in Slidell, Louisiana. He has made significant contributions to the field of oceanography through his innovative patents. With a total of 4 patents, Helber's work focuses on improving ocean forecast models by utilizing advanced methodologies.
Latest Patents
Helber's latest patents include a system and method for correcting a model-derived vertical structure of ocean temperature and ocean salinity based on sea surface height observations. This invention enables the use of sea surface height measurements to enhance the accuracy of ocean forecast models. The system exploits three precomputed relations: the relationship between temperature and salinity throughout a water column, the relationship between temperature/salinity and geopotential, and the relationship between geopotential and sea surface height. These relations are efficiently applied through a cross-correlation matrix.
Another significant patent by Helber is a system and method for correcting the vertical structure of ocean temperature and salinity based on velocity observations. Similar to his previous work, this invention utilizes three precomputed relations: the relationship between temperature and salinity throughout a water column, the relationship between temperature/salinity and geopotential, and the relationship between geopotential and velocity. The efficient application of these relations is also facilitated through a cross-correlation matrix.
