Stratified coastal ocean interactions with tropical cyclones
Hurricane-intensity forecast improvements currently lag the progress achieved for hurricane tracks. Integrated ocean observations and simulations during hurricane Irene (2011) reveal that the wind-forced two-layer circulation of the stratified coastal ocean, and resultant shear-induced mixing, led to significant and rapid ahead-of-eye-centre cooling (at least 6 °C and up to 11 °C) over a wide s...
متن کاملAltimeter microwave surface observations in tropical cyclones
Surface measurements in tropical cyclones (TCs) are difficult to obtain and only microwave sensors below 15 Ghz can penetrate the deep convective clouds surrounding the areas where surface winds are the largest (Quilfen et al., 2007). These kind of measurements are crucial to complement the Dvorak TC intensity analysis as obtained from infrared/visible measurements (Velden and Coauthors, 2006)....
متن کاملRealistic simulation of ocean surface using wave spectra
We present a method to simulate ocean surfaces away from the coast, with correct statistical wave height and direction distributions. By using classical oceanographic parametric wave spectra, our results fit real world measurements, without depending on them. Since wave spectra are independent of the ocean model, Gerstner parametric equations and Fourier transform method can be used with them. ...
متن کاملSea surface height evidence for long-term warming effects of tropical cyclones on the ocean.
Tropical cyclones have been hypothesized to influence climate by pumping heat into the ocean, but a direct measure of this warming effect is still lacking. We quantified cyclone-induced ocean warming by directly monitoring the thermal expansion of water in the wake of cyclones, using satellite-based sea surface height data that provide a unique way of tracking the changes in ocean heat content ...
متن کاملHow ocean color can steer Pacific tropical cyclones
Because ocean color alters the absorption of sunlight, it can produce changes in sea surface temperatures with further impacts on atmospheric circulation. These changes can project onto fields previously recognized to alter the distribution of tropical cyclones. If the North Pacific subtropical gyre contained no absorbing and scattering materials, the result would be to reduce subtropical cyclo...
