RISEffective Fetch and Duration of Tropical Cyclone Wind Fields Estimated from Simultaneous Wind and Wave Measurements: Surface Wave and Air–Sea Exchange Computation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: imultaneous wind and wave measurements have been obtained inside tropical cyclones in several hurricane hunter missions. Analyses of these datasets show that the surface wave development inside hurricanes follows essentially ...
Impacts of Parameterized Langmuir Turbulence and Nonbreaking Wave Mixing in Global Climate Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he impacts of parameterized upper-ocean wave mixing on global climate simulations are assessed through modification to Large et al.?s K-profile ocean boundary layer parameterization (KPP) in a coupled atmosphere?ocean?wave ...
The Effect of Wind–Wave–Current Interaction on Air–Sea Momentum Fluxes and Ocean Response in Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the wind?wave?current interaction mechanisms in tropical cyclones and their effect on the surface wave and ocean responses are investigated through a set of numerical experiments. The key element of the ...
The Impact of Ocean Surface Currents on Sverdrup Transport in the Midlatitude North Pacific via the Wind Stress Formulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: more complete wind stress τn formulation takes into account the ocean surface currents Vo, while the conventional wind stress τc popularly used in ocean circulation models is only a function of 10-m winds V10. An analytical ...
Momentum Flux Budget across the Air–Sea Interface under Uniform and Tropical Cyclone Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In coupled ocean?atmosphere models, it is usually assumed that the momentum flux into ocean currents is equal to the flux from air (wind stress). However, when the surface wave field grows (decays) in space or time, it ...
Correlations between Interannual SST Oscillations and Modeled Swell Impacts on Turbulent Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he possibility of teleconnections between Southern Ocean swells and sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies on interannual time scales in the eastern Pacific Niño-3 region and southeastern Indian Ocean is investigated using ...
Ocean Surface Wave Spectra inside Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDirectional wave spectra acquired in hurricane reconnaissance missions are compared with wind-wave spectral models. The comparison result is quantified with two indices of model?measurement spectral agreement. In ...
Numerical Simulations and Observations of Surface Wave Fields under an Extreme Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of the wave model WAVEWATCH III under a very strong, category 5, tropical cyclone wind forcing is investigated with different drag coefficient parameterizations and ocean current inputs. The model results ...
Ocean Warming Effect on Surface Gravity Wave Climate Change for the End of the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface wind (U10) and significant wave height (Hs) response to global warming are investigated using a coupled atmosphere?wave model by perturbing the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) with anomalies generated by the Working ...
Simulated Global Swell and Wind-Sea Climate and Their Responses to Anthropogenic Climate Change at the End of the Twenty-First Century
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he seasonal structure of the wind sea and swell is analyzed from the existing 29-yr surface gravity wave climatology produced using a coupled atmosphere?wave model. The swell energy fraction analysis shows that swell ...
