Numerical Techniques and Cloud-Scale Processes for High-Resolution Models

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to design and evaluate the components that will comprise a next generation mesoscale atmospheric model within the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS (registered trademark)). It is anticipated that in order to meet future Navy requirements, next generation approaches to numerical techniques and physical parameterizations will be needed. The objectives of this project involve the development, testing, and validation of: i) new numerical techniques such as advection schemes and time differencing methods, and ii) new methods for representing cloud-scale physical processes. Both of these objectives are tailored to address high-resolution applications for horizontal grid increments at 1 km or less.
