Analysis of Ocean-atmosphere Coupling Algorithms: Consistency and Stability
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper is focused on the numerical and computational issues associated to ocean-atmosphere coupling. It is shown that usual coupling methods do not provide the solution to the correct problem, but to an approaching one since they are equivalent to performing one single iteration of an iterative coupling method. The stability analysis of these ad-hoc methods is presented, and we motivate and propose the adaptation of a Schwarz domain decomposition method to ocean-atmosphere coupling to obtain a stable and consistent coupling method.

The Basic Effects of Atmosphere–Ocean Thermal Coupling on Midlatitude Variability*
Starting from the assumption that the atmosphere is the primary source of variability internal to the midlatitude atmosphere–ocean system on intraseasonal to interannual timescales, the authors construct a simple stochastically forced, one-dimensional, linear, coupled energy balance model. The coupled system is then dissected into partially coupled and uncoupled systems in order to quantify the...
متن کاملThe Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Model EMAC-MPIOM
The ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry (EMAC) model is coupled to the ocean general circulation model MPIOM using the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy) interface. MPIOM is operated as a MESSy submodel, thus the need of an external coupler is avoided. The coupling method is tested for different model configurations, proving to be very flexible in terms of parallel decomposition and very well ...
متن کاملSensitivity of an Ocean-Atmosphere Coupled Model to the Coupling Method : Study of Tropical Cyclone Erica
In this paper, the sensitivity of Atmospheric and Oceanic Coupled Models (AOCMs) to the associated coupling method is investigated. We propose the adaptation of a Schwarzlike domain decomposition method to AOCMs. We show that this kind of iterative process ensures a good consistency of the coupled solution across the air-sea interface, while usual ad-hoc algorithmic approaches do not properly s...

A multi-objective heuristic particle swarm optimiser (MOHPSO) based on Pareto multi-objective theory is proposed to solve multi-objective optimality problems. The optimality objectives are the roof displacement and structure weight. Two types of structure are analysed in this paper, a truss structure and a framework structure. Performance-based seismic analysis, such as classical and modal push...
متن کاملClimate drift in an ocean model coupled to a simple, perfectly matched atmosphere
A very simple, diffusive energy balance atmosphere is coupled to the GFDL ocean circulation model. This provides a useful tool for analyzing climate drift in the ocean model after coupling, and may be used to assess various schemes for minimizing such drift. In the experiment reported here, the atmosphere is constructed in such a way that it provides the ocean model at the moment of coupling wi...
