Ocean Thermal Structure Response to a Moving Hurricane Model.
Abstract
The time-dependent mixed-layer depth and temperature response of a two-layer ocean model to a moving hurricane model was investigated. The hurricane model was that of Elsberry, Pearson, and Corgnati (1974). The maximum hurricane wind was bounded at 50 m/sec in order to isolate ocean reactions from hurricane variance. The ocean model was based on that of Fraim (1973) which was derived from the earlier mixed-layer models of Kraus and Turner (1967) and Denman (1973). The ocean model was an idealized, quasi-three-dimensional model designed to examine the effects along the path of movement due to the passage of a moving hurricane.
