Coordination of Mesoscale Meteorological Research between ASL and European Groups.

Abstract

The main activity undertaken during this period was the finalisation of the arrangements for the Mesoscale Model Comparison Project. The four components of the project are (1) publication by ASL of a pre-workshop volume containing descriptions of all of the models used in the project, (2) publication by ASL of a pre-workshop volume containing model simulations of the Project WIND data set, (3) the workshop itself and (4) publication by the American Meteorological Society of a scientific monograph giving a state-of-the- art assessment of mesoscale modelling based on the project results. The project will enable the U.S. Army to optimise its meteorological information by identifying through the project the most accurate and useful existing models for meeting its particular needs and lay a firm basis on which to develop its own future models (and, to some extent, observing systems).
