Mesoscale Feedback from the Ocean to the Atmosphere in Coastal and Oceanic Frontal Regions

Abstract

The purpose of this study has been: (a) to investigate the processes involved in the mesoscale feedback process and effects of the feedback on the lower layers of the atmosphere;(b) to investigate the response of surface air to sea-surface properties; (c) to determine the 11 range of the coastal influence and the effects of coastal fronts on the surface layers in the atmosphere; (d) to investigate the possibility of recognizing oceanic frontal effects with routine ship observations; and(e) to look into the accounting of feedback in numerical models.
