The air-sea interface and surface stress under tropical cyclones
Tropical cyclone track prediction is steadily improving, while storm intensity prediction has seen little progress in the last quarter century. Important physics are not yet well understood and implemented in tropical cyclone forecast models. Missing and unresolved physics, especially at the air-sea interface, are among the factors limiting storm predictions. In a laboratory experiment and coor...
متن کاملAir-Sea Interactions in Tropical Cyclones
Significant progress has been made in the area of upper ocean responses and air-sea interactions during the passage of tropical cyclones (TC) since the first edition published in 1992. In terms of the upper ocean impacts on intensity, considerable attention has focused on the three-dimensional cold wake structure and the negative feedback due to ocean mixed layer cooling by shear-induced vertic...
متن کاملSIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON TROPICAL CYCLONES Topic 1 . 3 Air - Sea Interface and Oceanic Influences
The objective of this report is to document progress since IWTC-V in this thematic area from experimental, observational, empirical, theoretical, and numerical perspectives. The report begins by describing progress in upper-ocean processes that include the oceanic mixed layer (OML) and the thermocline. This section is followed by a discussion of the air-sea interface that includes surface winds...
متن کاملSea surface signature of tropical cyclones using microwave remote sensing
Measuring the sea surface during tropical cyclones (TC) is challenging due to severe weather conditions that prevent shipboard measurements and clouds which mask the sea surface for visible satellite sensors. However, sea surface emission in the microwave L-band can penetrate rain and clouds and be measured from space. The European Space Agency (ESA) MIRAS L-band radiometer on the Soil Moisture...
متن کاملEffect of surface waves on Charnock coefficient under tropical cyclones
[1] The dependence of the air-sea momentum flux on surface wave fields is investigated at very high winds under tropical cyclones. A coupled wave-wind model is applied to estimate the momentum flux under ten hurricanes in the western Atlantic Ocean during 1998–2003. The model explicitly calculates the wave-induced stress vector and the total wind stress vector from a given wind speed vector and...
