Modeling ProgramsModeling programs at ETL focus on the verification and improvement of atmospheric and oceanic models through the use of research quality observations.Air Quality Modeling
Weather-Chemistry Air Quality Model Evaluation
Central California Ozone Study (CCOS) Model Verification Cloud Modeling
Large Eddy Simulations of Stratocumulus Clouds
Precipitation Studies Numerical Modeling of Climate-Weather InteractionWhile climate change research has focused on planetary scale environmental change, climate change can have a severe impact on regional weather, hydrology and air quality. In order to better anticipate and mitigate the regional impact of climate, ETL is seeking to close the climate-weather gap through the development of programs addressing regional scale variability through observation, modeling and analysis. Weather-Climate programs at ETL include studying the enhancement or suppression of the water cycle, the variation of temperature and air quality and arctic processes.

Coupled Atmosphere-Ocean ModelIn traditional models of the atmosphere, the influence of the ocean on the atmosphere is limited to providing the bottom boundary condition in terms of sea surface temperature (SST). It has become increasingly clear that the the two-way interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere must be accounted for in order to better predict environmental events in coastal regions.

Air-Sea Energy Fluxes under High Wind Conditions Numerical Model Physics Development and VerificationNumerical models are computer approximations of the natural environment. In order to apply these models to increasingly complex issues, they must be tested and tuned. ETL is applying its extensive experience in Boundary Layer (BL) observation to improve the accuracy of boundary layer modeling.Development and Testing of a New Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) Scheme in WRF | |||||||||||||
