1. Atmospheric boundary layer coupling to midlatitude mesoscale sea surface temperature anomalies

Creator:: Thum, Nicolai
Abstract:: This thesis examines the mechanisms that couple the monthly-averaged atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) to open-ocean sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations on scales of 50-500 km. The observed positive correlation between surface wind speed anomalies and SST anomalies is successfully simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. In numerical...
