A Rapidly Relocatable, Coupled Mesoscale Modeling System for Naval Special Warfare

Abstract

LONG-TERM GOALS. The ongoing CMI RTP is designed to provide the full environmental spectrum of modeling support for NSW forces, by coupling the Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS), Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), and Simulating Wave Nearshore (SWAN) model. This capability offers a predictive capability of environmental parameters at scales on the order of 1 km, which is crucial for NSW operations. Testing is underway in the Battlespace Environments Institute to coupled COAMPS and NCOM utilizing the Earth System Modeling Framework (ESMF). A beta-test of the two-way coupled system is planned for FY07. It is anticipated that the two-way ESMF coupled air-sea system will be tested on the LINUX cluster (part of this project) and transitioned to the Navy through the Centralized Atmospheric Analysis and Prediction System (CAAPS) at FNMOC.
