Physics-based Parameterizations of Air-sea Fluxes at High Winds
نویسندگان
چکیده
The long term goal of this project is to provide a new set of parameterizations of air-sea fluxes, which can be used as boundary conditions for high-resolution numerical models of ocean, atmosphere, and coupled ocean/atmosphere systems. The new parameterizations will be constructed based on physical processes of the exchange of mass, momentum, heat, moisture, energy at the interface between the ocean and the atmosphere, and will be valid for the whole range of wind speeds.

Modeling Turbulent Air-Sea Exchange in High Winds
The goal is to investigate, theoretically and through analyzing existing data, the role that sea spray plays in transferring heat, moisture, and momentum across the air-sea interface, especially in high winds. Ultimately, I plan to develop simple, fast, physics-based parameterizations for these air-sea fluxes for use in large-scale models, especially those simulating tropical and extratropical ...

The main goal of the proposed research is to study theoretically the role of the breaking wind waves and the sea spray, generated by them, under strongly forced situations in the airflow dynamics in particular in energy, momentum, heat and moisture transfers through the sea surface. Through this to increase the knowledge of the air-sea interaction and to apply this knowledge for developing impr...

متن کاملResponse of air‐sea carbon fluxes and climate to orbital forcing changes in the Community Climate System Model
[1] A global general circulation model coupled to an ocean ecosystem model is used to quantify the response of carbon fluxes and climate to changes in orbital forcing. Compared to the present‐day simulation, the simulation with the Earth’s orbital parameters from 115,000 years ago features significantly cooler northern high latitudes but only moderately cooler southern high latitudes. This asym...
