North Atlantic Basin Modeling and Prediction for DAMEE-NAB

An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system consisting of a 1/8 deg global system with embedded systems, 1/32 deg subtropical Atlantic (9-47 deg N) including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico and 1/16 deg Pacific north of 20 deg S. The goal is an eddy-resolving prediction system for the North Atlantic...

Description
Summary:An eddy-resolving nowcast/forecast system consisting of a 1/8 deg global system with embedded systems, 1/32 deg subtropical Atlantic (9-47 deg N) including the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico and 1/16 deg Pacific north of 20 deg S. The goal is an eddy-resolving prediction system for the North Atlantic Basin from 9 to 47 deg N, which includes the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. This project represents continued participation of NRL in the Data Assimilation and Model Evaluation Experiment - North Atlantic Basin (DAMEE-NAB) project supported by ONR with a focus on model-data comparisons and data assimilation. NRL has had two unique roles in DAMEE-NAB. The first was to investigate the impact of using extremely high horizontal resolution, the highest ever for basin-scale ocean modeling, because of the exceptional efficiency of the NRL Layered Ocean Model. The second was to assess different wind products as potential forcing for Atlantic Ocean models by investigating linear ocean model response to the different wind sets. See also ADM002252.
