Unified Cloud and Mixing Parameterizations of the Marine Boundary Layer: EDMF and PDF-Based Cloud Approaches

Abstract

The long term goals of this effort are (i) the development of a unified parameterization for the marine boundary layer; (ii) the implementation of this new parameterization in the U.S. Navy NAVGEM model; and (iii) the transition of this new version of the NAVGEM model into operations at Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC).
