Demonstrate the Use of Satellite Whitecap Fraction Retrievals for Air-Sea Interaction Products in Navy Operational Models

Abstract

This Memorandum report documents the work done for a NISE Type 2 project aiming to demonstrate that the use of satellite retrievals of whitecap fraction in the operational Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS) can provide a new capability for air-sea products necessary for the Navy forecasts at multiple time scales. The results show that the NISE project has successfully completed the objectives and raised the Technology Readiness Level of the whitecap retrieval algorithm from level 5 to level 6, thus supporting future transition efforts.
