Early Student Support for a Process Study of Oceanic Responses to Typhoons

Abstract

Our long-term scientific goals are to understand the upper ocean dynamics, to understand the coupling between the ocean and atmosphere via airsea fluxes, and to quantify the mechanisms of airsea interactions. Our ultimate goal is to help develop improved parameterizations of airsea fluxes in oceanatmosphere models and parameterizations of small-scale processes in the upper ocean and the stratified interior.
