Summary
The objective of this research is implementation of a Prototype Regional Meteorological Forecast System (PRMFS) in the Eastern United States. This system could function in real-time to supply meteorological input to air pollution, washout, coastal oil spill transport, and weather dependent fuel use models out to 24 hours in advance. Considerable effort is being devoted to testing and verifying the system and to developing a more detailed boundary layer model, including a vegetated ground layer. The forecast model has been run at Brookhaven National Laboratory and compared with the identical case run at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. This transfer included conversion of certain machine dependent codes and packing of the data within the core of the CDC-7600 at Brookhaven. The trajectory code was used on the storm of April 1974, to demonstrate the sensitivity of cleansing computations to grid size. The prototype system was reorganized into a coherent system of codes with a common structure and coding style. The FORTRAN pre-processor has been changed from FRED to FLOTRAN, an extended version of IFTRAN that permits use of the FLOW library of data transfer routines. These improvements in software provide greater portability, flexibility, and reliability so that the model at Brookhaven National Laboratory will function efficiently and remain at the forefront of the state-of-the-art of detailed weather prediction.
