Development of the Navy's Next-Generation Nonhydrostatic Modeling System

Abstract : The main objective is to continue development of the next generation model, the Spectral Element (SE) model, built on the Element Based Galerkin (EBG) method and evaluate simulations in both two- (2D) and three dimensions (3D). The primary focus is on completing the set of the basic necessary physical parameterizations, adding the ability to use initial boundary conditions from another global model, and reading the climatological database to provide required surface characteristics. The overarching objective is to perform a global weather forecast using real data.
