An Investigation of Terrain-Atmosphere-Ocean Interactions Along the Coastal Regions of North America

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to improve our understanding of: (1) the structure, evolution, and dynamics of the interaction of extratropical fronts/cyclones with coastal orography, (2) air-sea interactions associated with coastal fronts and rapidly deepening cyclones along the East Coast, and (3) the ability of mesoscale models to simulate coastal phenomena at high resolution.
