A Rapidly Relocatable, Coupled, Mesoscale Modeling System for Naval Special Warfare

Abstract

This project is one coordinated component of a larger combined 6.2/6.4 Rapid Transition Project (RTP) to address specific Naval Special Warfare (NSW) operational decisions that are affected by meteorology and oceanography (METOC) processes. Our overall goal is to develop technology for a unique, rapidly globally-relocatable, coupled air-sea, high-resolution data assimilation system capable of optimally utilizing the diverse, highly perishable, on-scene environmental data collected by NSW forces for improved forecasts and characterizations of the impact of rapidly changing, operationally significant environmental situations.
