Improvement of the Cloud Physics Formulation in the U.S. Navy Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS)

Abstract

Correct representation of cloud processes is critical in producing accurate numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecasts. The major goal of the project is to develop state of the art parameterizations of cloud processes and implement them into COAMPS.
