Support and Enhancement of the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) 2010 - 2012

南极中尺度预报系统(AMPS)为美国南极计划(USAP)创造并维持了一项实验性的、实时的、高分辨率的数值天气预报能力。此外，它还支持南极洲范围广泛的NSF科学和后勤活动(包括冰上紧急情况)，为国际南极预报工作提供数值指导，并为研究人员和学生提供研究工具和数据库。拟议的更新努力的目标是：a)维持和加强AMPS，同时提供适合USAP需要的数值预报；b)提高WRF(AMPS数值天气模式)在高纬度应用中的能力；以及c)促进预报员、研究人员和学生之间的合作，以推进NSF的操作和科学目标，同时定位AMPS为南极科学界服务该奖项部分得到了CIF21软件重用风险基金的资助。

The Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) effort has created and maintained an experimental, real-time, high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) capability for the United States Antarctic Program (USAP). It additionally supports a wide range of NSF scientific and logistical activities across Antarctica (including on-Ice emergencies), offers numerical guidance to international Antarctic forecasting efforts, and provides a research tool and database for researchers and students.The goals of the proposed renewal effort are to: a) maintain and enhance AMPS while providing numerical forecasts tailored to the needs of the USAP; b) improve the WRF (AMPS numerical weather model) capability in its high latitude applications; and c) foster collaboration among forecasters, researchers, and students to advance NSF operational and scientific aims, while positioning AMPS to serve the Antarctic scientific communityThis award was supported in part with funding from the CIF21 Venture Fund for Software re-use.
