<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The
Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System
(NOGAPS) is the Department of Defense’s global numerical
weather prediction (NWP) system. In 2000, the Naval
Research Laboratory (NRL) inaugurated a collaborative
R&D project among scientists in its Space Science,
Marine Meteorology, and Remote Sensing Divisions to
extend NOGAPS from its current upper boundary (then at
~35 km altitude) to altitudes nearer 100 km. This has
led to an Advanced-Level Physics High-Altitude (ALPHA)
NOGAPS prototype, known as NOGAPS-ALPHA, that runs at
NRL as a fully functional prototype global NWP system
extending to ~100 km altitude.</span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I’ll
summarize this NOGAPS-ALPHA development history,
focusing on advances in both the forecast model and data
assimilation components that were required to operate it
at altitudes that extend to the edge of space. Some of
the research highlights made possible through
forecasting and data assimilation experiments with this
new system will then be described. I’ll conclude with
some future research and development avenues that are
planned for this system and its successors, including
recent and imminent transitions of NOGAPS-ALPHA
technology to the NOGAPS run operationally at the Fleet
Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center.</span></p>
