Typhoon-Ocean Interaction: The Ocean Response to Typhoons, and Its Feedback to Typhoon Intensity - Synergy of Observations and Model Simulations
Abstract
Long-term goals are: 1. Measuring the response of the upper ocean to strong typhoons (including surface waves, air-sea fluxes, temperature, salinity, and velocity structure) both in simple, open ocean conditions and in the more complex conditions caused by ocean eddies, the Kuroshio and complex, shallow bathymetry. 2. Understanding key upper ocean precesses, validating the simulation of upper ocean models, testing key parameterizations of upper ocean physics used in these models, and studying the feedback from the ocean to typhoon intensity. Scientific or technological objectives are: 1. Investigation of the roles of upper-ocean thermal structures (eddies and wakes) on typhoon-ocean interaction. 2. Understanding the feedback of the typhoon-ocean interaction to typhoon intensity and structure evolution. 3. Conducting real-case numerical simulation experiments (WRF-PWP coupled model) with the TPARC (DOTSTAR, TCS-08, TCS-10) and ITOP data. 4. Monitoring of forming storms in the Pacific ocean to predict the track and strength in order to determine the optimal location for the aerial deployment of the drifters, floats and AXBT, as well as the best way for the ships based scientist to study the cold wake after the storm.
