NAME 2004 Field CampaignNOAA OGP Priorities

NOAA OGP interest is guided by the need to better understand and model key ocean, atmosphere and land processes for improved dynamical model simulations of the intraseasonal-to-interannual variability of the North American monsoon.

• PACS emphasis: – marine data to determine the role of oceanic and coupled ocean-atmospheric processes in the

dynamics of the monsoon, to provide over-ocean depiction of atmospheric conditions, and to enhance the interpretation of continental observations

– atmospheric observations to describe, understand, and model the circulation, moisture transport, convection, and precipitation over the warm continent and complex terrain in the core monsoon region

• GAPP emphasis:– mountain hydrometeorological data to support studies of precipitation patterns and runoff

generation in mountainous areas – in-situ soil moisture and vegetation data (soil type/texture info is needed) as validation datasets

for models and remote sensing products– measurement of moisture fluxes to examine the extent to which current data assimilation

approaches capture their spatial and temporal scales

OGP interest is guided by the need to better understand and model key ocean, atmosphere and land processes for improved model simulations and predictions of the intraseasonal-to-interannual variability of the North American monsoon.

Fostering International Collaboration

NOAA-funded projects will support:

• meetings for scientific planning, field coordination, and post-field data set development, analyses, and modeling

• travel of international PIs and their students to participate in the field and to enable joint research among investigators

• forecaster exchanges

• training courses in observations, analysis and modeling

• graduate education opportunities at US institutions

• collaborative deployment and operation of observing systems

• cooperative development and provision of data sets

• observing system design and transition to operations
