Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean Modeling Program Using Movable Nested Grid Techniques

Abstract

Our long term fundamental goals are 1) to develop a movable multiply nested mesh ocean model and investigate its application for air-sea interaction studies on the mesoscale, 2) to study coupled air-sea processes at very high wind speeds, 3) to investigate the capability of coupled tropical cyclone - ocean models for improving predictions of the ocean response and tropical cyclone evolution, and 4) to develop model initialization and data assimilation techniques for short and medium range coupled air-sea predictions.
