Large-Eddy Simulation of Coastal Land-Air-Sea Interactions
Abstract
Process study to investigate the mechanisms of coastal land-air-sea interactions; Improvement of parameterizations for COAMPS; and Help the interpretation of remote sensing data. The effort in the first year will focus on a pilot LES. The LES will use a mature code of ours that have been used to simulate wind over complex terrain consisting of waters and land with abrupt topography changes. We will perform LES with realistic setting for the Monterey Bay site where COAMPS simulations are performed and measurements are taken. The LES will provide flow field details at the juncture of land, air, and sea. We will used such valuable information to seek improved parameterizations for the enhancement of COAMPS capability in coastal areas, with a focus on the key physical quantities used in COAMPS modeling. Besides NRL-Monterey, we will also work together with researchers at NPS and U Miami on the joint CLASI pilot effort. The long term goal of this project is to help advance the basic research of ONR in coastal areas, and to help improve the Navy’s capabilities of operational forecasting of coastal land-air-sea interaction processes and remote sensing in coastal denied areas
