Mesoscale Coastal Processes
Abstract
Increase our scientific understanding of the mesoscale coastal processes and dynamics and apply this knowledge to improve our ability to predict the atmosphere and ocean, particularly in the coastal zone. The primary objective is to apply numerical models to gain a more complete understanding of mesoscale processes in littoral regions. Sophisticated 3-D atmospheric and ocean models are developed to study air-sea-land interactions associated with mesoscale circulations, the formation and dissipation of clouds and precipitation associated with different scales of motion and to study the predictability of atmosphere/ocean/land coupled mesoscale circulations in littoral regions.
