Stability-Dependent Exchange Coefficients for Air–Sea Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study introduces exchange coefficients for wind stress (CD), latent heat flux (CL), and sensible heat flux (CS) over the global ocean. They are obtained from the state-of-the-art Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response ...
Efficient and Accurate Bulk Parameterizations of Air–Sea Fluxes for Use in General Circulation Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Efficient and computationally inexpensive simple bulk formulas that include the effects of dynamic stability are developed to provide wind stress, and latent and sensible heat fluxes at the air?sea interface in general ...
How Does Solar Attenuation Depth Affect the Ocean Mixed Layer? Water Turbidity and Atmospheric Forcing Impacts on the Simulation of Seasonal Mixed Layer Variability in the Turbid Black Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A fine-resolution (≈3.2 km) Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is used to investigate the impact of solar radiation attenuation with depth on the predictions of monthly mean sea surface height (SSH), mixed layer depth ...
Climatological SST and MLD Predictions from a Global Layered Ocean Model with an Embedded Mixed Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Layered Ocean Model (NLOM) with an embedded mixed layer submodel is used to predict the climatological monthly mean sea surface temperature (SST) and surface ocean mixed layer depth (MLD) ...
Numerical Models of Boundary Layer Processes over and around the Gulf of Mexico during a Return-Flow Event
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The return-flow of low-level air from the Gulf of Mexico over the southeast United States during the cool season is studied using numerical models. The key models are a newly developed airmass transformation (AMT) model ...
Physical Mechanism for the Tallahassee, Florida, Minimum Temperature Anomaly
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Nighttime minimum temperatures at the Tallahassee Regional Airport (TLH) are colder in comparison with surrounding locations and other parts of the city, especially during the cool season (TLH minimum temperature anomaly). ...
A New Solar Radiation Penetration Scheme for Use in Ocean Mixed Layer Studies: An Application to the Black Sea Using a Fine-Resolution Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 1/25° ? 1/25° cos(lat) (longitude ? latitude) (≈3.2-km resolution) eddy-resolving Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) is introduced for the Black Sea and used to examine the effects of ocean turbidity on upper-ocean ...
Sea Surface Temperature Sensitivity to Water Turbidity from Simulations of the Turbid Black Sea Using HYCOM
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper examines the sensitivity of sea surface temperature (SST) to water turbidity in the Black Sea using the eddy-resolving (?3.2-km resolution) Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), which includes a nonslab K-profile ...
A Correction for Land Contamination of Atmospheric Variables near Land–Sea Boundaries
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean models need over-ocean atmospheric forcing. However, such forcing is not necessarily provided near the land?sea boundary because 1) the atmospheric model grid used for forcing is frequently much coarser than the ocean ...
Interannual Variability of Sea Surface Height over the Black Sea: Relation to Climatic Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface height (SSH) variability is presented over the Black Sea during 1993?2005. The 1/4° ? 1/4° resolution daily SSH fields are formed using optimal interpolation of available altimeter data. SSH variability reveals ...
