Advanced Numerical Methods for NWP Models

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to develop a next-generation global atmospheric numerical prediction model that can take advantage of projected computational processing technology to make efficient, high-resolution global modeling a reality. The Navy Spectral Element Atmospheric Model (NSEAM) uses icosahedral grid structures that employ local spectral elements to generate highly accurate and highly scalable global weather forecasts. NSEAM is expected to allow for the Navy to use global models to predict the weather at resolutions of 25 km and less in the coming years.
