Physics Parameterization for Seasonal Prediction
Abstract
This project targets development of a unified treatment of atmospheric mixing processes, including interactions with clouds, within the Navy Global Environmental Model (NAVGEM) suitable for extended range prediction that includes not only boundary layer mixing, but mixing by shallow to midlevel convective clouds, as well as deep convection. The project will pursue a more consistent and realistic treatment of the relative magnitudes of these various mixing processes, focusing on the hydrologic cycle, but also addressing related momentum drag balance issues.
