Coupling between Sea Surface Temperature and Low-Level Winds in Mesoscale Numerical Models

Creator:

Song, Qingtao, Chelton, Dudley B., Esbensen, Steven K., Thum, Nicolai, and O'Neill, Larry W.

Abstract:

This study evaluates the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) specification and grid resolution on numerical simulations of air–sea coupling near oceanic fronts through analyses of surface winds from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) model. The 9 May 2001 change of the boundary condition from the Reynolds...

Dynamical Analysis of the Boundary Layer and Surface Wind Responses to Mesoscale SST Perturbations

Creator:

O'Neill, Larry W., Esbensen, Steven K., Thum, Nicolai, Samelson, Roger M., and Chelton, Dudley B.

Abstract:

The dynamical response of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) to mesoscale sea surface temperature (SST) perturbations is investigated over the Agulhas Return Current during winter from a 1-month, high-resolution, three-dimensional simulation using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale model. A steady lower boundary condition for July 2002 is...
