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 ...
Buoy-Calibrated Winds over the Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The large variability of the Gulf of Mexico wind field indicates that high-resolution wind data will be required to represent the weather systems affecting ocean circulation. This report presents methods and results of the ...
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) ...
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 ...
Winter Convective Mixing in the northern Arabian Sea during Contrasting Monsoons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Numerical Study of the Circulation of the Bering Sea Basin and Exchange with the North Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A limited-area, primitive equation, three-layer hydrodynamic model, with realistic coastlines and bathymetry and ?° resolution, is used to investigate the circulation of the Bering Sea basin and the adjacent North pacific ...
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 ...
