Abstract:

The objective is to further develop, validate, and evaluate the capability of a fully coupled regional Arctic prediction system, designated as Regional Arctic Prediction System. The coupling will be achieved by linking three major predictive systems COAMPS, NCOM and CICE. Various physical parameterizations and data assimilation package critical for the Arctic prediction system will be implemented and evaluated. The new coupled system is intended to provide the Navy the capability to conduct short-term 1 week to extended 2 weeks coupled weather forecasts for the Arctic region.
