Multi-scale met-hydro-ocean connections in the Maritime Continent

Abstract

The complexity of interactions in space and time between the meteorology, hydrology, and oceanography in the Maritime Continent raises a number of science questions. Key questions that the proposed research aims to address include: a.) What are the meteorological-hydrological-oceanic linkages between mountain rainfall, river run-off, and coastal ocean variability (temporally, vertically and horizontally)? b.) How do the upper ocean mixed layer/barrier layer dynamics and SST vary spatially (e.g., near-coast, open ocean, near rivers) and influence the propagation of ISO? c.) How do coupled models, as a class and as individuals, reproduce the propagation of ISO through the MC?
