Atmospheric Forcing and Its Spatial Variability Over the Japan Sea

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to improve our understanding of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL), its spatial structure and variability, and the resultant ocean surface forcing over the Japan/East Sea (JES). The objective of this project is to determine the structure of the MABL over the JES, understand the dynamical role of the adjacent orography in modifying the flow, and evaluate the effect of the forcing on the surface wind stress and heat flux.
