Moist and Boundary Layer Physics for Mesoscale Modeling

Abstract

The long-term goal is to improve the understanding of cloud and boundary layer processes within the littoral through the use of the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) and relevant observations. Improve the moist and boundary layer physics schemes used in COAMPS based on knowledge gained through extensive testing and verification of high-resolution (1-20 km horizontal grid spacing) numerical simulations in the littoral.
