ESPC Coupled Global Prediction System - Develop and Test Coupled Physical Parameterizations: NAVGEM/CICE/HYCOM
Abstract
The long-term goal is a fully coupled global atmosphere/wave/ocean/land/ice prediction system providing daily predications out to 10 days and weekly predictions out to 30 days. The initial operational capability of a fully coupled global atmosphere/wave/ocean/land/ice prediction system is targeted for 2018. Predictions will provide environmental information to meet Navy and DoD operations and planning needs throughout the globe from undersea to the upper atmosphere and from the tropics to the poles. The system will be implemented on Navy operational computer systems, and the necessary processing infrastructure will be put in place to provide products for the Navy fleet user consumption. Building on the ESMF NUOPC interoperability layers, present advanced models representing the physics within each of the earth components of atmosphere, ocean, surface waves, ice and land will pass information through separate flux computation models. The system will use analysis fields of each component as initial conditions and make daily forecasts out to 10 days. Throughout each weekly cycle, predictions out to 30 days will be constructed.
