Unified Parameterization of the Marine Boundary Layer

Abstract

The long term goals of this effort are (1) the development of a unified parameterization for the marine boundary layer; (2) the implementation of this new parameterization in the US Navy COAMPS mesoscale model; and (3) the transition of this new version of the COAMPS model into operations at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC). The objectives of this project are: (1) to develop a unified parameterization for the Marine Boundary Layer (MBL) and (2) to implement and test this parameterization in the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS 1).
