Japan/East Sea Air-Sea Interaction and Meteorology: Boundary-Layer Structure and Model Validation

Abstract

The long-terms goals of the research are to understand and parameterize the physics of air-sea interaction and the marine boundary layer over a wide spectrum of weather and ocean conditions. The main objectives of this effort are to study the air-sea interaction under the extreme conditions of cold-air outbreaks over the Japan/East Sea (JES) during winter. We are primarily interested in (i) the determination of boundary-layer structure (ii) the measurement of momentum, heat and water vapor (latent heat) air-sea fluxes and their spatial variability (iii) parameterization of these fluxes and (iv) model validation using observations.
