Abstract: ropical cyclones (TCs) typically produce intense oceanic upwelling underneath the storm?s center and weaker and broader downwelling outside upwelled regions. However, several cases of predominantly downwelling responses ...

Abstract: During favorable atmospheric conditions, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita deepened to category 5 over the Loop Current?s (LC) bulge associated with an amplifying warm core eddy. Both hurricanes subsequently weakened to category ...

Abstract: Tropical cyclones (TCs) Katrina and Rita moved as major hurricanes over energetic geostrophic ocean features in the Gulf of Mexico. Increased and reduced oceanic mixed layer (OML) cooling was measured following the passage ...

Abstract: he response of quasigeostrophic (QG) oceanic vortices to tropical cyclone (TC) forcing is investigated using an isopycnic ocean model. Idealized oceanic currents and wind fields derived from observational data acquired ...

Abstract: sing dropsondes from 27 aircraft flights, in situ observations, and satellite data acquired during Tropical Cyclone Earl (category 4 hurricane), bulk air?sea fluxes of enthalpy and momentum are investigated in relation to ...

Abstract: AbstractUsing a combination of NOAA P-3 aircraft tail Doppler radar, NOAA and NASA dropsondes, and buoy- and drifter-based sea surface temperature data, different types of downdrafts and their influence on boundary layer ...
