Tactical Atmospheric Modeling System/Real-Time (TAMS/RT)

Abstract

The goal of this one-year accelerated technology initiative is to provide the forward deployed operator with the organic capability to add value to centrally-produced METOC products. The added value is realized by incorporating local data into an organically-controlled high resolution, limited-area, nonhydrostatic atmospheric analysis and forecast modeling system. The modeling system is the NRL Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) which uses central site data products for the time-dependent lateral boundary conditions. The focus of the delivered system is to provide atmospheric and tactical impact variables (e.g., refractivity) at improved accuracy and resolution to operational users who need to predict the capabilities of sensor and weapon systems.
