Cool-skin simulation by a one-column ocean model
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] A one-column ocean model is used to simulate the cool-skin effect of sea surface temperatures. Four schemes for determining the thickness of the cool skin are compared. It is established that all four schemes can capture the cool skin for wind speeds 7.5 m s ; however, for wind speeds > 7.5 m s , Artale et al.’s (2002) scheme performs better. This study demonstrates that the cool-skin effect can be reproduced by the one-column model, while a proper vertical resolution in the top 1 mm is embedded. Citation: Tu, C.-Y., and B.-J.

Numerical Modeling of Turbulent Processes in outflow of the Persian Gulf
In this study, measured hydrophysical data collected by the University of Miami researchers from the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz during the period December 1996 to March 1998 and climate data from the Qeshm island meteorological station were used to simulate water column turbulence south of the Qeshm Island, via General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM). The model does not use slip and fl...

[1] In aerial surveys conducted during the Tropical Ocean–Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment and the low-wind component of the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST-Low) oceanographic field programs, sea surface temperature (SST) variability at relatively short spatial scales (O(50 m) to O(1 km)) was observed to increase with decreasing wind speed. A unique...

[1] In the Indian Ocean, in situ data are sparse both in time and space. Therefore, numerical models are one of the major tools for further understanding of the ocean circulation. We have implemented, validated, and done a 40 year simulation experiment forced by synoptic atmospheric data by using the Miami Isopycnic Coordinate Ocean Model (MICOM) not previously used for the Indian Ocean. The si...
متن کاملWind Wave Effects On Surface Stress In Hydrodynamic Modeling
Wind, wave and current interactions control the boundary fluxes, momentum and energy exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean, and within the water column. The wind wave effect on surface stress is investigated using a three-dimensional time-dependant ocean circulation model. The POM (Princeton Ocean Model) based model is implemented with realistic coastlines in South China Sea and emphasi...

In this study, liquid-liquid extraction process in a Kuhni extraction column was modeled and simulated. A non-equilibrium dynamic model was developed for modeling liquid-liquid extraction processes based on a rate-based model. The model equations are inclusive of partial and ordinary differential equations which were discretized in column height direction. The population balance model was used ...
