From the HAMP Final Report 2010:
"On September 3, 2010, Ginis spoke with Dr. Jim Doyle at the Naval Research Laboratory regarding future collaboration between HAMP and NRL’s COAMPS-TC group. It was a follow-up conversation after the meeting held at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) by DHS program manager Will Laska and ONR program managers including Dr. Ronald Ferek, Program Manager, Marine Meteorology and Atmospheric Effects."
Dr. Ronal Ferek, Program Manager, Office of Naval Research Code 32: Department of Ocean Battlespace Sensing
[He represented ONR Code 32 for the funding of the UAE2 Experiment]
(Would be interesting to see if Quentin Saulter of Code 35, Directed Energy Weapons was also at the meeting.)
Also see New Program for 2014-2018 run by Dr. Ronal Ferek: Understanding and Predicting the Impact of Outflow on Tropical Cyclone Intensification and Structure [collaborating with NASA field program called Hurricane and Severe Storms Sentinel (HS3)]
Issac Ginis, University of Rhode Island - one of the main HAMP scientists.
Jim Doyle, Research Meteorologist, Naval Research Laboratory
William D. Laska, DHS HSARPA & HAMP Program Manager

Summary of the Meeting from HAMP Final Report:
1. COAMPS-TC with a planned operational implementation in two-three years. COMAPS-TC will be used operationally in all ocean basins where tropical cyclones occur.
2. The COAMPS-TC group is developing a fully coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean system and is presently ahead of NOAA in this process.
3. Improvements in the intensity prediction are the highest priority for COAMPS-TC.
4. Jim Doyle spoke highly about qualification of the HAMP scientists and expressed strong interest in collaboration.
5. ONR plans to support a major new initiative (~$10 million for 5 years) on convective processes to start in 2013.
They believe HAMP scientists can contribute greatly to the development of the science plan and participate in the program.
