DOI's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (DOI BOEM) Support for the National Center for Atmospheric Research

这项研究的目标将是通过纳入海洋和沿海地区的海气相互作用过程来改进国家大气研究中心（NCAR）的天气研究和预报模式（WRF）。 WRF是一个广泛使用的气象中尺度模式，已被用来模拟各种各样的气象现象。 与内政部海洋能源管理局（BOEM）合作，NCAR科学家将被修改，以准确模拟大气，特别是海洋和沿海地区的边界层过程。 科学家将利用已完成的BOEM研究的数据和结果来帮助改进模型物理和模型验证。 这项研究的成功完成将导致WRF的改进版本，这将有利于研究界。 它还将为BOEM提供一个有价值的工具，用于了解海洋和沿海环境中的大气和空气质量。

The goal of this research will be to improve the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) by inclusion of air sea interaction processes over the ocean and the coastal zone. The WRF is a widely used meteorological mesoscale model that has been used to simulate a large variety of meteorological phenomena. In collaboration with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) of the Department of the Interior, NCAR scientist will be modified to accurately simulate the atmosphere, especially boundary layer processes over the ocean and in coastal areas. The scientist will utilize data and results from completed BOEM studies to help improve model physics and for model validation. Successful completion of this research will result in an improved version of the WRF that will be of benefit to the research community. It alos will provide the BOEM with a valable tool for understainding the atmosphere and air quality in the marine and coastal environment.
