Aircraft Measurements for Understanding Air-Sea Coupling and Improving Coupled Model Predictions
نویسنده
چکیده
In FY14, the objectives of our analyses of the WP-3D based LASP measurements are to understand: 1) marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) structure and characteristics during the DYANMO/LASP field campaign; 2) influence of convection on MABL structure and the variability of atmospheric boundary layer thermodynamic properties across the DYNAMO domain during the suppressed and active phase of MJO; and 3) variability and distribution of upper ocean properties observed using the expendable probes during different phases of MJO.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Structures of Hurricane Boundary Layer in Coupled Atmosphere–Wave–Ocean Models and Observations
It is widely accepted that air–sea interaction is one of the key factors in controlling tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. However, the physical mechanisms for connecting the upper ocean and air–sea interface with storm structure through the atmospheric boundary layer in TCs are not well understood. This study investigates the air–sea coupling processes using a fully coupled atmosphere–wave–ocean...

Our long term fundamental goals are 1) to develop a movable multiply nested mesh ocean model and investigate its application for air-sea interaction studies on the mesoscale, 2) to study coupled air-sea processes at very high wind speeds, 3) to investigate the capability of coupled tropical cyclone ocean models for improving predictions of the ocean response and tropical cyclone evolution, and ...
متن کاملLDA Experimental Data of Three-Poster Jet Impingement System
During its near-ground hovering phase a Short Take-Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) aircraft creates a complex three-dimensional flow field between jet streams, the airframe surface and the ground. A proper understanding and numerical prediction of this flow is important in the design of such aircraft. In this paper an experimental facility, used to gather validation data suitable for testing C...

This paper presents transient aero-thermal analysis for a gas turbine disk and the surrounding air flows through a transient slam acceleration/deceleration “square cycle” engine test, and compares predictions with engine measurements. The transient solid-fluid interaction calculations were performed with an innovative coupled finite element (FE) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach. ...
متن کاملDynamic and Thermodynamic Air–Sea Coupling Associated with the Indian Ocean Dipole Diagnosed from 23 WCRP CMIP3 Models*
The performance of 23 World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, phase 3 (CMIP3) models in the simulation of the Indian Ocean dipole (IOD) is evaluated, and the results show large diversity in the simulated IOD intensity. A detailed diagnosis is carried out to understand the role of the Bjerknes dynamic air–sea feedback and the thermodynamic air–sea coupling ...
