On Sensitivity Analysis within the 4DVAR Framework
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he sensitivity of model forecasts to uncertainties in control variables is evaluated using the adjoint technique and the ensemble generated by the reduced-order four-dimensional variational data assimilation (R4DVAR) ...
Hindcasting Changes in Upper-Ocean Thermal Structure on Short Timescales with Data from MILE and Ocean Weather Station Papa
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The skill of mixed-layer hindcasts of short (12?120 h) duration was investigated using data from Ocean Weather Station Papa for the years 1960?68, and from the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE), which was conducted about 4O ...
On the Structure and Dynamics of the Oceanic Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mellor and Yamada (1974) Level II turbulence closure scheme is used to study the oceanic bottom boundary layer (BBL). The model is tested against observations of the BBL obtained on the western Florida Shelf reported ...
Synoptic Forecasting of the Oceanic Mixed Layer Using the Navy's Operational Environmental Data Base: Present Capabilities and Future Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A synoptic forecast model of the oceanic mixed layer has been developed for operational use at the U.S. Navy's Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC), Monterey, Calif. The potential success of this model depends ...
Effect of Two-Way Air–Sea Coupling in High and Low Wind Speed Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A recent advance in the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) is described and used to study two-way air?sea coupling and its impact on two different weather scenarios. The first case examines the ...
