High-Resolution Coupled Ocean-Wave-Atmosphere Prediction of Typhoons and Their Impact on the Upper Ocean
Abstract
The long-term goal is to gain new insight into the atmosphere-ocean-wave interaction within typhoon environments and to advance the development of the Navy's Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System COAMPS 1 through integration of new knowledge and technology and collaboration with ONR's Ocean Battlespace Sensing Departmental Research Initiative (DRI). The objectives of this research are to (1) investigate the impact of air-sea interaction including wave and sea spray effects on typhoon structure and intensity and its impact on the ocean mixed layer characteristics in the Western Pacific; (2) evaluate and validate new atmosphere-ocean-wave model parameterizations and COAMPS simulations of typhoon impacts on the ocean and atmosphere boundary layers; and (3) advance the development and improvement of the high-resolution COAMPS-On Scene (COAMPS-OS 1) Coupled Modeling Initiative through systematic evaluation using the DRI field experiment data and other available datasets.
