MURI: Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI)
The MURI was a cooperative research initiative between the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Inistitute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (UW-CIMSS), and the University of Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology (UH-HIGP) including a subcontract with Texas A&M University. The Office of Naval Research (ONR), Department of Defense (DoD) research effort had three main long-term goals. They were to 1) to bridge the physical principles of a hyperspectral data retrieval problem with the mathematical algorithms that try to solve it; 2) mathematically quantify the location of useful information to complete a physically-driven application in the electromagnetic spectrum, and 3) develop physically-based hyperspectral data processing applications for surface material identification, atmospheric parameter retrieval formulation, and coastal water quality assessment.
