The Development of the Non-hydrostatic Unified Model of the Atmosphere (NUMA)

Abstract

Currently, in the U.S. there is a movement to construct one NWP model (NWS, Navy, Air Force other partners include NASA and DOE). This National Board (NUOPC=National Unified Operational Prediction Capability) aims to develop a new model that is: 1. Highly scalable on current and future computer architectures 2. Global model that is valid at the meso-scale (i.e., non-hydrostatic) 3. Applicable to medium-range NWP and decadal time-scales.
