A New Coupled Weather and Wave Model for Gravity Wave Propagation from Troposphere Weather Systems Deep into the Ionosphere
Abstract
The coupled model will consist of two parts: (1) the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory regional weather model COAMPS, which will be used to model tropospheric weather systems and their generation of gravity waves; and (2) a wave propagation model, which will be initialized by COAMPS and will be used to follow the subsequent propagation of the gravity waves deep into the ionosphere, as high as 400 km altitude. The project will concentrate on the neutral atmosphere but will be oriented toward an ultimate goal of forecasting medium-scale traveling ionospheric disturbances forced from below by gravity waves.
