Unified Parameterization of the Marine Boundary Layer

Abstract

The long term goals of this effort are (i) the development of a unified parameterization for the marine boundary layer; (ii) the implementation of this new parameterization in the US Navy COAMPS mesoscale model; and (iii) the transition of this new version of the COAMPS model into operations at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC).
