The oceanic mixed layer (OML) response to an idealized hurricane with different propagation speeds is investigated using a
two-layer reduced gravity ocean model. First, the model performances are examined with respect to available observations relative
to Hurricane Frances (2004). Then, 11 idealized simulations are performed with a Holland (Mon Weather Rev 108(8):1212–1218,
1980) symmetric wind profile as surface forcing with storm propagation speeds ranging from 2 to 12 m s−1. By varying this parameter, the phasing between atmospheric and oceanic scales is modified. Consequently, it leads to different
momentum exchanges between the hurricane and the OML and to various oceanic responses. The present study determines how OML
momentum and heat budgets depend on this parameter. The kinetic energy flux due to surface wind stress is found to strongly
depend on the propagation speed and on the cross-track distance from the hurricane center. A resonant regime between surface
winds and near-inertial currents is clearly identified. This regime maximizes locally the energy flux into the OML. For fast-moving
hurricanes (>6 m s−1), the ratio of kinetic energy converted into turbulence depends only on the wind stress energy input. For slow-moving hurricanes
(<6 m s−1), the upwelling induced by current divergence enhances this conversion by shallowing the OML depth. Regarding the thermodynamic
response, two regimes are identified with respect to the propagation speed. For slow-moving hurricanes, the upwelling combined
with a sharp temperature gradient at the OML base formed in the leading part of the storm maximizes the oceanic heat loss.
For fast propagation speeds, the resonance mechanism sets up the cold wake on the right side of the hurricane track. These
results suggest that the propagation speed is a parameter as important as the surface wind speed to accurately describe the
oceanic response to a moving hurricane. 相似文献

A high-resolution, regional coupled atmosphere–ocean model is used to investigate strong air–sea interactions during a rapidly developing extratropical cyclone (ETC) off the east coast of the USA. In this two-way coupled system, surface momentum and heat fluxes derived from the Weather Research and Forecasting model and sea surface temperature (SST) from the Regional Ocean Modeling System are exchanged via the Model Coupling Toolkit. Comparisons are made between the modeled and observed wind velocity, sea level pressure, 10 m air temperature, and sea surface temperature time series, as well as a comparison between the model and one glider transect. Vertical profiles of modeled air temperature and winds in the marine atmospheric boundary layer and temperature variations in the upper ocean during a 3-day storm period are examined at various cross-shelf transects along the eastern seaboard. It is found that the air–sea interactions near the Gulf Stream are important for generating and sustaining the ETC. In particular, locally enhanced winds over a warm sea (relative to the land temperature) induce large surface heat fluxes which cool the upper ocean by up to 2 °C, mainly during the cold air outbreak period after the storm passage. Detailed heat budget analyses show the ocean-to-atmosphere heat flux dominates the upper ocean heat content variations. Results clearly show that dynamic air–sea interactions affecting momentum and buoyancy flux exchanges in ETCs need to be resolved accurately in a coupled atmosphere–ocean modeling framework. 相似文献

A mesoscale non-hydrostatic atmospheric model has been coupled with a mesoscale oceanic model. The case study is a four-day simulation of a strong storm event observed during the SEMAPHORE experiment over a 500 × 500 km2 domain. This domain encompasses a thermohaline front associated with the Azores current. In order to analyze the effect of mesoscale coupling, three simulations are compared: the first one with the atmospheric model forced by realistic sea surface temperature analyses; the second one with the ocean model forced by atmospheric fields, derived from weather forecast re-analyses; the third one with the models being coupled. For these three simulations the surface fluxes were computed with the same bulk parametrization. All three simulations succeed well in representing the main oceanic or atmospheric features observed during the storm. Comparison of surface fields with in situ observations reveals that the winds of the fine mesh atmospheric model are more realistic than those of the weather forecast re-analyses. The low-level winds simulated with the atmospheric model in the forced and coupled simulations are appreciably stronger than the re-analyzed winds. They also generate stronger fluxes. The coupled simulation has the strongest surface heat fluxes: the difference in the net heat budget with the oceanic forced simulation reaches on average 50 Wm−2 over the simulation period. Sea surface-temperature cooling is too weak in both simulations, but is improved in the coupled run and matches better the cooling observed with drifters. The spatial distributions of sea surface-temperature cooling and surface fluxes are strongly inhomogeneous over the simulation domain. The amplitude of the flux variation is maximum in the coupled run. Moreover the weak correlation between the cooling and heat flux patterns indicates that the surface fluxes are not responsible for the whole cooling and suggests that the response of the ocean mixed layer to the atmosphere is highly non-local and enhanced in the coupled simulation. 相似文献

We present a unified model of the air–sea boundary layer, which takes account of the air–sea momentum exchange across the
sea surface. The recognition of the importance of the velocity shears in the water (which comprise a frictional shear and
the Stokes shear due to the wave motion) in determining the sea surface roughness is a distinctive feature of the analysis,
which leads to a prediction of the Charnock constant (α) in terms of two independent parameters, namely the wave age and the ratio of the Stokes shear to the Eulerian shear in the
water. This expression is used to interpret the large observational variability of the Charnock constant. The 10-m drag coefficient
can also be expressed using similar reasoning, and the introduction of a relation in which the ratio of the frictional shear
in the water to the frictional shear in the air decreases with the friction velocity yields predictive relations for the variation
of the 10-m drag coefficient at very high wind speeds both in the open ocean and in wind–wave tanks. The physical interpretation
of this relation is that the production of spray essentially returns momentum from the ocean to the atmosphere, and this process
becomes progressively more important as the wind speed increases. 相似文献

Tropical storms and hurricanes in the western North Atlantic Ocean can impact the US East Coast in several ways. Direct effects include storm surges, winds, waves, and precipitation and indirect effects include changes in ocean dynamics that consequently impact the coast. Hurricane Matthew [October, 2016] was chosen as a case study to demonstrate the interaction between an offshore storm, the Gulf Stream (GS) and coastal sea level. A regional numerical ocean model was used, to conduct sensitivity experiments with different surface forcing, using wind and heat flux data from an operational hurricane-ocean coupled forecast system. An additional experiment used the observed Florida Current (FC) transport during the hurricane as an inflow boundary condition. The experiments show that the hurricane caused a disruption in the GS flow that resulted in large spatial variations in temperatures with cooling of up to ~?4 °C by surface heat loss, but the interaction of the winds with the GS flow also caused some local warming near fronts and eddies (relative to simulations without a hurricane). A considerable weakening of the FC transport (~?30%) has been observed during the hurricane (a reduction of ~?10 Sv in 3 days; 1Sv?=?106 m3 s?1), so the impact of the FC was explored by the model. Unlike the abrupt and large wind-driven storm surge (up to 2 m water level change within 12 h in the South Atlantic Bight), the impact of the weakening GS on sea level is smaller but lasted for several days after the hurricane dissipated, as seen in both the model and altimeter data. These results can explain observations that show minor tidal flooding along long stretches of coasts for several days following passages of hurricanes. Further analysis showed the short-term impact of the hurricane winds on kinetic energy versus the long-term impact of the hurricane-induced mixing on potential energy, whereas several days are needed to reestablish the stratification and rebuild the strength of the GS to its pre-hurricane conditions. Understanding the interaction between storms, the Gulf Stream and coastal sea level can help to improve prediction of sea level rise and coastal flooding. 相似文献

An experimental investigation of the airflow structure in the near surface region over the wind-sheared air–water interface
is reported. The two-dimensional velocity fields in a plane perpendicular to the water surface were measured using particle
image velocimetry (PIV) technique over a wind speed range from 1.5 to 4.4 m s−1. The results show a reduction in the mean velocity magnitudes and the tangential stresses when gravity waves appear on the
surface. An enhanced vorticity layer was observed immediately above the water surface that extended to a height of approximately
2 cm. The vorticity was enhanced by an order of magnitude, and the energy dissipation rate was enhanced by a factor of 7 in
this layer at all wind speeds. The vertical profiles of Reynolds stress, energy production, and dissipation indicate the contribution
of surface waves in the enhanced transfer of momentum and energy between the two fluids. The results in this study show that
the flow dynamics in a layer immediately adjacent to the water surface whose thickness is of the order of the significant
wave height is significantly different from that at greater heights. Thus, it is concluded that the quantitative investigation
of the flow in the immediate vicinity of the interface is vital for an improved understanding of the heat, mass, and momentum
exchange between air and water. The present study demonstrates that PIV is an effective technique to accurately measure the
velocity fields in this region. 相似文献

The inertial coupling approach for the momentum transfer at the ocean–atmosphere interface, which is based on the assumption
of a similarity hypothesis in which the ratio between the water and air reference velocities is equal to the square root of
the ratio between the air and water densities, is reviewed using a wave model. In this model, the air and water reference
velocities are identified, respectively, with the spectrally weighted phase velocity of the gravity waves and the Stokes velocity
at the water roughness length, which are evaluated in terms of the dimensionless frequency limits in Toba's equilibrium spectrum.
It is shown that the similarity hypothesis is approximately satisfied by the wave model over the range of wave ages encountered
in typical sea states, and that the predicted values of the dimensionless surface drift velocity, the dimensionless water
reference velocity, and the Charnock constant are in reasonable agreement with observational evidence. The application of
the bulk relationship for the surface shear stress, derived from the inertial coupling hypothesis in general circulation modeling,
is also discussed.

The three-dimensional time-mean density distribution in the ocean is determined not only by the time-mean fluxes of heat
and freshwater at the sea surface, but also by time-mean vertical currents and time-mean density fluxes due to oceanic transients
excited by fluctuating fluxes at the sea surface. The effects of these various processes on the global density fields are
assessed using a balance equation of the variance of spatial density anomalies and a millennium integration with an atmosphere–ocean
general circulation model. It is found that spatial density anomalies are generated by the time-mean heat fluxes at the sea
surface and destroyed by the time-mean surface freshwater flux, by sinking of dense water and rising of less dense water,
and finally by density fluxes associated with transients. The last two processes take place essentially in the oceanic interior.
Since density fluxes of transient eddies act to reduce the existing density differences between the Atlantic/Southern Oceans
and the other oceans, their presence could affect the global density balance, and from that the thermohaline circulation and
the stability of this circulation.

This paper addresses two avenues for gaining insight into the hurricane intensity issue—the angular momentum approach and
the scale interaction approach. In the angular momentum framework, the torques acting on a parcel's angular momentum are considered
along an inflowing trajectory in order to construct the angular momentum budget. These torques are separable into three components:
The pressure torque, the surface friction torque, and the cloud torque. All torques are found to diminish the angular momentum
of an inflowing parcel, with the cloud torques having the most important role. In the scale interaction approach, energy exchanges
among different scales within a hurricane are considered as a means of understanding hurricane intensity. It is found that
the majority of kinetic energy contribution to the hurricane scales originates from potential-to-kinetic in-scale energy conversions.
The contribution of mean-wave interactions in the kinetic energy varies with distance from the center and with the life stage
of a storm. In the early stages, as the disorganized convection becomes organized on the hurricane scales, upscale energy
transfers (i.e., from small to large scale) are found to take place in the outer radii of the storm. In a mature storm, the kinetic energy
transfers are downscale, except for the inner radii. 相似文献

An important part of the influence of the oceans on the atmosphere is through direct radiation, sensible heat flux and release of latent heat of evaporation, whereby all of these processes are directly related to the surface temperature of the oceans. A main effect of the atmosphere on the oceans is through momentum exchange at the air-ocean interface, and this process is directly related to the surface wind stress. The sea surface temperature (SST) and the surface wind stress are the two important components in the air-ocean system. If SST is given, a thermally forced boundary layer atmospheric circulation can be simulated. On the other hand, if the surface wind stress is given, the wind-driven ocean waves and ocean currents can be computed.The relationship between SST and surface wind is a coupling of the atmosphere and the oceans. It changes a one-way effect (ocean mechanically driven by atmosphere, or atmosphere thermally forced by oceans) into two-way air-sea interactions. Through this coupling the SST distribution, being an output from an ocean model, leads to the thermally forced surface winds, which feeds back into the ocean model as an additional forcing.Based on Kuo's planetary boundary layer model a linear algebraic equation is established to link the SST gradient with the thermally forced surface wind. The surface wind blows across the isotherms from cold to warm region with some deflection angle to the right (left) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere. Results from this study show that the atmospheric stratification reduces both the speed and the deflection angle of the thermally forced wind, however, the Coriolis' effect increases the wind speed in stable atmosphere (Ri>10–4) and increases the deflection angle. 相似文献

The circulation of the Southern Ocean is studied in the eddy-resolving model POP (Parallel Ocean Program) by an analysis
of zonally integrated balances. The TEM formalism (Transformed Eulerian Mean) is extended to include topography and continental
boundaries, thus deviations from a zonally integrated state involve transient and standing eddies. The meridional circulation
is presented in terms of the Eulerian, eddy-induced, and residual streamfunctions. It is shown that the splitting of the meridional
circulation into Ekman and geostrophic transports and the component induced by subgrid and Reynolds stresses is identical
to a particular form of the zonally integrated balance of zonal momentum. In this balance, the eddy-induced streamfunctions
represent the interfacial form stresses by transient and standing eddies and the residual streamfunction represents the acceleration
of the zonal current by density fluxes in a zonally integrated frame. The latter acceleration term is directly related to
the surface flux of density and interior fluxes due to the resolved and unresolved eddies. The eddy-induced circulation is
extremely vigorous in POP. In the upper ocean a shallow circulation, reversed in comparison to the Deacon cell and mainly
due to standing eddies, appears to the north of Drake Passage latitudes, and in the Drake Passage belt of latitudes a deep-reaching
cell is induced by transient eddies. In the resulting residual circulation the Deacon cell is largely cancelled and the residual
advection of the zonal mean potential density is balanced by diapycnal eddy and subgrid fluxes which are strong in the upper
few hundred meters but small in the ocean interior. The balance of zonal momentum is consistent with other eddy-resolving
models; a new aspect is the clear identification of density effects in the zonally integrated balance. We show that the wind
stress and the stress induced by the residual circulation drive the eastward current, whereas both eddy species result in
a braking. Finally, we extend the Johnson–Bryden model of zonal transport to incorporate all relevant terms from the zonal
momentum balance. It is shown that wind stress and induction by the residual circulation carry an eastward transport while
bottom form stress and the stress induced by standing eddies yield westward components of transport.

The effect of wind waves on water level and currents during two storms in the North Sea is investigated using a high-resolution Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO) model forced with fluxes and fields from a high-resolution wave model. The additional terms accounting for wave-current interaction that are considered in this study are the Stokes-Coriolis force, the sea-state-dependent energy and momentum fluxes. The individual and collective role of these processes is quantified and the results are compared with a control run without wave effects as well as against current and water-level measurements from coastal stations. We find a better agreement with observations when the circulation model is forced by sea-state-dependent fluxes, especially in extreme events. The two extreme events, the storm Christian (25–27 October 2013), and about a month later, the storm Xaver (5–7 December 2013), induce different wave and surge conditions over the North Sea. Including the wave effects in the circulation model for the storm Xaver raises the modelled surge by more than 40 cm compared with the control run in the German Bight area. For the storm Christian, a difference of 20–30 cm in the surge level between the wave-forced and the stand-alone ocean model is found over the whole southern part of the North Sea. Moreover, the modelled vertical velocity profile fits the observations very well when the wave forcing is accounted for. The contribution of wave-induced forcing has been quantified indicating that this represents an important mechanism for improving water-level and current predictions. 相似文献

Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) nighttime thermal images were used to extract the thermal and morphological properties for
the surface of a blocky-to-rubbley lava mass active within the summit crater of the Caliente vent at Santiaguito lava dome
(Guatemala). Thermally the crater was characterized by three concentric regions: a hot outer annulus of loose fine material
at 150–400°C, an inner cold annulus of blocky lava at 40–80°C, and a warm central core at 100–200°C comprising younger, hotter
lava. Intermittent explosions resulted in thermal renewal of some surfaces, mostly across the outer annulus where loose, fine,
fill material was ejected to expose hotter, underlying, material. Surface heat flux densities (radiative + free convection)
were dominated by losses from the outer annulus (0.3–1.5 × 104 s−1m−2), followed by the hot central core (0.1–0.4 × 104 J s−1m−2) and cold annulus (0.04–0.1 × 104 J s−1m−2). Overall surface power output was also dominated by the outer annulus region (31–176 MJ s−1), but the cold annulus contributed equal power (2.41–7.07 MJ s−1) as the hot central core (2.68–6.92 MJ s−1) due to its greater area. Cooled surfaces (i.e. the upper thermal boundary layer separating surface temperatures from underlying
material at magmatic temperatures) across the central core and cold annulus had estimated thicknesses, based on simple conductive
model, of 0.3–2.2 and 1.5–4.3 m. The stability of the thermal structure through time and between explosions indicates that
it is linked to a deeper structural control likely comprising a central massive plug, feeding lava flow from the SW rim of
the crater, surrounded by an arcuate, marginal fracture zone through which heat and mass can preferentially flow. 相似文献

We examine the seasonal mixed-layer temperature (MLT) and salinity (MLS) budgets in the Banda–Arafura Seas region (120–138°
E, 8–3° S) using an ECCO ocean-state estimation product. MLT in these seas is relatively high during November–May (austral
spring through fall) and relatively low during June–September (austral winter and the period associated with the Asian summer
monsoon). Surface heat flux makes the largest contribution to the seasonal MLT tendency, with significant reinforcement by
subsurface processes, especially turbulent vertical mixing. Temperature declines (the MLT tendency is negative) in May–August
when seasonal insolation is smallest and local winds are strong due to the southeast monsoon, which causes surface heat loss
and cooling by vertical processes. In particular, Ekman suction induced by local wind stress curl raises the thermocline in
the Arafura Sea, bringing cooler subsurface water closer to the base of the mixed layer where it is subsequently incorporated
into the mixed layer through turbulent vertical mixing; this has a cooling effect. The MLT budget also has a small, but non-negligible,
semi-annual component since insolation increases and winds weaken during the spring and fall monsoon transitions near the
equator. This causes warming via solar heating, reduced surface heat loss, and weakened turbulent mixing compared to austral
winter and, to a lesser extent, compared to austral summer. Seasonal MLS is dominated by ocean processes rather than by local
freshwater flux. The contributions by horizontal advection and subsurface processes have comparable magnitudes. The results
suggest that ocean dynamics play a significant part in determining both seasonal MLT and MLS in the region, such that coupled
model studies of the region should use a full ocean model rather than a slab ocean mixed-layer model. 相似文献

A theoretical framework to include the influences of nonbreaking surface waves in ocean general circulation models is established
based on Reynolds stresses and fluxes terms derived from surface wave-induced fluctuation. An expression for the wave-induced
viscosity and diffusivity as a function of the wave number spectrum is derived for infinite and finite water depths; this
derivation allows the coupling of ocean circulation models with a wave number spectrum numerical model. In the case of monochromatic
surface wave, the wave-induced viscosity and diffusivity are functions of the Stokes drift. The influence of the wave-induced
mixing scheme on global ocean circulation models was tested with the Princeton Ocean Model, indicating significant improvement
in upper ocean thermal structure and mixed layer depth compared with mixing obtained by the Mellor–Yamada scheme without the
wave influence. For example, the model–observation correlation coefficient of the upper 100-m temperature along 35° N increases
from 0.68 without wave influence to 0.93 with wave influence. The wave-induced Reynolds stress can reach up to about 5% of
the wind stress in high latitudes, and drive 2–3 Sv transport in the global ocean in the form of mesoscale eddies with diameter
of 500–1,000 km. The surface wave-induced mixing is more pronounced in middle and high latitudes during the summer in the
Northern Hemisphere and in middle latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere. 相似文献

Wave breaking statistics, such as the whitecap coverage and average volume of broken seawater, are evaluated in terms of wave
parameters by use of wave breaking model (Yuan et al., 1988) taking the fifth order Stokes’s wave as the analog of the original
wave field. Based on the observed fact that breaking waves play an important role in the exchange of mass, momentum and energy
between the atmosphere and the ocean, the influence of wave breaking on air-sea fluxes of heat and moisture is investigated.
Theoretical expressions of bubble-volume flux and sea spray spectrum at the sea surface and models for bubble-induced and
spray droplet-induced heat and moisture fluxes are established. This work can be taken as the basis for further understanding
the mechanism of air-sea coupling and parameterization models. 相似文献

Long-term variability of heat content (HC) in the upper 1,000 m of the Arctic Ocean is investigated using surface and subsurface
temperature and current data during 1958–2005 compiled by Simple Ocean Data Assimilation. Annual cycle of the Arctic Ocean
HC is controlled primarily by the negative and positive excursions in net upper ocean heat flux, while the inter-annual variability
is mainly associated with meridional thermal advection from the North Atlantic Ocean. Variability in HC is experienced as
a basin-wide cooling/warming in association with the Arctic Oscillation on a decadal time scale. In the first three dominant
modes of Empirical Orthogonal Function, the maximum amplitude of HC variability occurs in the Greenland–Norwegian Sea and
Eurasian Basin. In general, HC showed increasing trend during 1958–2005 indicating continuous warming with regional variations
in magnitude. 相似文献

This paper discusses the preliminary results of a study on the vegetation pattern and its relationship with meteorological parameters in and around Istanbul. The study covers an area of over 6800 km2 consisting of urban and suburban centers, and uses the visible and near-infrared bands of Landsat. The spatial variation of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and meteorological parameters such as sensible heat flux, momentum flux, relative humidity, moist static energy, rainfall rate and temperature have been investigated based on observations in ten stations in the European (Thracian) and Anatolian parts of Istanbul. NDVI values have been evaluated from the Landsat data for a single day, viz. 24 October 1986, using ERDAS in ten different classes. The simultaneous spatial variations of sensible heat and momentum fluxes have been computed from the wind and temperature profiles using the Monin-Obukhov similarity theory. The static energy variations are based on the surface meteorological observations. There is very good correlation between NDVI and rainfall rate. Good correlation also exists between: NDVI and relative humidity; NDVI, sensible heat flux and relative humidity; NDVI, momentum flux and emissivity; and NDVI, sensible heat flux and emissivity. The study suggests that the momentum flux has only marginal impact on NDVI. Due to rapid urbanization, the coastal belt is characterized by reduced NDVI compared to the interior areas, suggesting that thermodynamic discontinuities considerably influence the vegetation pattern. This study is useful for the investigation of small-scale circulation models, especially in urban and suburban areas where differential heating leads to the formation of heat islands. In the long run, such studies on a global scale are vital to gain accurate, timely information on the distribution of vegetation on the earth’s surface. This may lead to an understanding of how changes in land cover affect phenomena as diverse as the atmospheric CO2 concentrations, the hydrological cycle and the energy balance at the surface-atmosphere interface. 相似文献

A numerical simulation of very severe cyclonic storm ‘Phailin’, which originated in southeastern Bay of Bengal (BoB) and propagated northwestward during 10–15 October 2013, was carried out using a coupled atmosphere-ocean model. A Model Coupling Toolkit (MCT) was used to make exchanges of fluxes consistent between the atmospheric model ‘Weather Research and Forecasting’ (WRF) and ocean circulation model ‘Regional Ocean Modelling System’ (ROMS) components of the ‘Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport’ (COAWST) modelling system. The track and intensity of tropical cyclone (TC) Phailin simulated by the WRF component of the coupled model agrees well with the best-track estimates reported by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Ocean model component (ROMS) was configured over the BoB domain; it utilized the wind stress and net surface heat fluxes from the WRF model to investigate upper oceanic response to the passage of TC Phailin. The coupled model shows pronounced sea surface cooling (2–2.5 °C) and an increase in sea surface salinity (SSS) (2–3 psu) after 06 GMT on 12 October 2013 over the northwestern BoB. Signature of this surface cooling was also observed in satellite data and buoy measurements. The oceanic mixed layer heat budget analysis reveals relative roles of different oceanic processes in controlling the mixed layer temperature over the region of observed cooling. The heat budget highlighted major contributions from horizontal advection and vertical entrainment processes in governing the mixed layer cooling (up to ?0.1 °C h?1) and, thereby, reduction in sea surface temperature (SST) in the northwestern BoB during 11–12 October 2013. During the post-cyclone period, the net heat flux at surface regained its diurnal variations with a noontime peak that provided a warming tendency up to 0.05 °C h?1 in the mixed layer. Clear signatures of TC-induced upwelling are seen in vertical velocity (about 2.5 × 10?3 m s?1), rise in isotherms and isohalines along 85–88° E longitudes in the northwestern BoB. The study demonstrates that a coupled atmosphere-ocean model (WRF + ROMS) serves as a useful tool to investigate oceanic response to the passage of cyclones. 相似文献
