Development and Implementation of Universal Cloud/Radiation Parameterizations in Navy Operational Forecast Models
Abstract
1. Design a parameterization for translating prognostic cloud attributes (liquid or ice water content, drop size, layer cloud fraction) in NAVGEM to quantities that will become the input stream to an atmospheric radiation code. Examples are optical thickness, single scattering albedo and fractional cloud overlap. 2. Implement a cloud overlap scheme for NAVGEM.
