Toward a Coupled Ocean-Wave-Atmosphere Moddel of Typhoon Impacts on the Western Pacific
Abstract
The first objective of this effort is to develop an ocean model to cover the Typhoon DRI study area at the West Pacific applying a Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Ocean Nowcast/Forecast System (ONFS) (Ko et al., 2008). The second objective is to conduct real-time prediction applying the model to provide ocean conditions to support the field experiments. The third objective is to collaborate with other Typhoon DRI PIs as well as the PIs from related projects such as the Taiwanese ITOP (Interaction of Typhoon and Ocean Project) and TCS-08 (Tropical Cyclone Structure field experiment in the Western North Pacific) to study the impact of Typhoon and wave on the ocean applying models and observations. The finally objective is to use observational data to evaluate the model responses to Typhoon and apply the result to improve the operational applications
