Aircraft Measurements for Understanding Air-Sea Coupling and Improving Coupled Model Predictions
Abstract
The long-term goal of this project is to understand the coupled air-sea processes and improve physical parameterizations of the coupled model in various large-scale forcing conditions. In FY14, the objectives of our analyses of the WP-3D based LASP measurements are to understand: 1) marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) structure and characteristics during the DYANMO/LASP field campaign; 2) influence of convection on MABL structure and the variability of atmospheric boundary layer thermodynamic properties across the DYNAMO domain during the suppressed and active phase of MJO; and 3) variability and distribution of upper ocean properties observed using the expendable probes during different phases of MJO.
