Evaluation and Improvement of High-resolution Mesoscale Models on Boundary Layer Simulations Using Ground-based Observations. Annual Report October 1, 2009-September 30, 2010

摘要

The long-term goal of the proposed work is to improve the physical parameterizations and wind forecast from high-resolution COAMPS. This is done through analyses of a large amount of data from a dense measurement network located the coastal Florida peninsula and through testing and evaluation of COAMPS simulations. The objectives of this year's work were to in-depth analyses of the tower observations to calculate turbulence fluxes and surface roughness length and to select representative cases for future observation evaluation of COAMPS simulations.
