Improvement of Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction for Coastal Regions of Complex Terrain FY2002

Abstract

The long-term goals of this effort are two-fold: (1) to improve understanding of gap flows and other coastal orographic features using both observations and numerical modeling, and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of high-resolution NWP over a region with coastal orography, using both deterministic and probabilistic (ensemble) methods.
