Development of an Operational Multi-sensor and Multi-channel Aerosol Assimilation Package Using NAAPS and NAVDAS
Abstract
Due to the significance of aerosols in visibility forecasting, transportation, air pollution and global climate change studies, the modeling and successful prediction of aerosol events is of a great interest to both military and civilian users. Recognizing this interest, the Naval Research Laboratory Marine Meteorology Division developed the Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System (NAAPS), the world's only truly operational aerosol prediction model, to provide both aerosol and visibility forecasts for the US Navy.
