Physically Consistent Eddy-resolving State Estimation and Prediction of the Coupled Pan-Arctic Climate System at Daily to Interannual Time Scales Using the Regional Arctic Climate Model (RACM)
This project targets some of the key requirements in the Navy Arctic Roadmap 2014-2030 and in the 2014 Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region, regarding the need for advanced modeling capabilities for operational forecasting and strategic climate predictions through 2030...

This project targets some of the key requirements in the Navy Arctic Roadmap 2014-2030 and in the 2014 Implementation Plan for the National Strategy for the Arctic Region, regarding the need for advanced modeling capabilities for operational forecasting and strategic climate predictions through 2030. The proposed research leverages ongoing developments of the state-of-the-art Regional Arctic System Model (RASM, previously called Regional Arctic Climate Model - RACM) through a multiinstitutional program supported by the Department of Energy Regional and Global Climate Modeling (DOE/RGCM) program and two ongoing complementary projects. This project is aimed at improved modeling of the atmosphere-ice-ocean interface to advance representation of the past and present state of the Arctic Climate System and prediction of its future states at time scales from daily (operational) through seasonal, interannual, and up to decadal (tactical). We use the Regional Arctic System Model (RASM) to extend the Navy sea ice predictive capability beyond the current forecasts of up to 7-day (provided by the Arctic Cap Nowcast/Forecast System (ACNFS) at NRL), to seasonal and up to decadal climate projections.
