Mesoscale Coastally-Trapped Response to Synoptic Variability
Abstract
The long term goal of this project is to improve our understanding and forecasting of mesoscale coastally trapped weather events along mountainous coastlines. The objectives of this project are to document the mesoscale structure of coastally-trapped phenomena along the U.S. West Coast, establish the relationship between the synoptic-scale structure and the onset of coastally-trapped disturbances, determine the sensitivity of coastally-trapped phenomena to synoptic-scale variability, and to establish forecast criteria for predicting coastally-trapped disturbances. This work is supported entirely by the Office of Naval Research Marine Meteorology program through the Coastal Meteorology Accelerated Research Initiative.
