High-Resolution Atmospheric Modeling over the Philippine Archipelago

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to provide and evaluate high-resolution atmospheric forcing for the Philippines Experiment (PHILEX) and Assessing the Effectiveness of Submesoscale Ocean Parameterizations (AESOP) communities and explore the sensitivity of atmospheric and ocean model forecasts to horizontal resolution along the U.S. West Coast and in a complex archipelago. It is anticipated that in order to meet future Navy requirements, a better understanding of the numerical model requirements for horizontal resolution and atmospheric forcing are needed in coastal and complex archipelago regions.
