Remote Sensing and Prediction of the Coastal Marine Boundary Layer

Abstract

The long-term goal is to improve numerical (computer-aided) weather prediction in coastal regions, especially of weather events that impact naval operations. We seek to forecast weather events in the right place and the right time. The weather events we are most concerned with are convective storms, boundary layer clouds and drizzle. We emphasize the use of satellite and lightning data for model initialization. The measurement of our success would be improved forecasts by the Navy's mesoscale model COAMPS.
