RISLangmuir Turbulence Parameterization in Tropical Cyclone Conditions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Stokes drift of surface waves significantly modifies the upper-ocean turbulence because of the Craik?Leibovich vortex force (Langmuir turbulence). Under tropical cyclones the contribution of the surface waves varies ...
Impact of Sea-State-Dependent Langmuir Turbulence on the Ocean Response to a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclones are fueled by the air?sea heat flux, which is reduced when the ocean surface cools due to mixed layer deepening and upwelling. Wave-driven Langmuir turbulence can significantly modify these processes. This ...
Interaction of Langmuir Turbulence and Inertial Currents in the Ocean Surface Boundary Layer under Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractBased on a large-eddy simulation approach, this study investigates the response of the ocean surface boundary layer (OSBL) and Langmuir turbulence (LT) to extreme wind and complex wave forcing under tropical cyclones ...
Langmuir Turbulence under Hurricane Gustav (2008)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtreme winds and complex wave fields drive upper-ocean turbulence in tropical cyclone conditions. Motivated by Lagrangian float observations of bulk vertical velocity variance (VVV) under Hurricane Gustav (2008), upper-ocean ...
