Mesoscale Feedback from the Ocean to the Atmosphere in Coastal and Oceanic Frontal Regions.

摘要

The purpose of the study has been: (a) To investigate the processes involved in the mesoscale feedback process and effects of the feedback on the lower layers of the atmosphere; (b) to investigate the response of surface air to sea-surface properties; (c) to determine the 'range of the coastal influence'and the effects of coastal fronts on the surface layers in the atmosphere; (d) to investigate the possibility of recognizing oceanic frontal effects with routine ship observations;and (e) to look into the accounting of feedback in numerical models.
