Improved Atmospheric Stable Boundary Layer Formulations for Navy Seasonal Forecasting
Abstract
Most weather forecast models prescribes too much turbulent mixing in stably stratified conditions, which causes problems with the depth of nocturnal or high-latitude winter boundary layers, lack of inertially driven low-level wind maxima and inversion-capped low clouds. The link between the turbulent momentum flux and the associated Ekman pumping and therefore the lifetime of synoptic-scale weather system has so far made impossible a satisfactory solution.
