Atmospheric Modeling Support for CREAMS II: Simulations of Mesoscale Atmospheric Circulation and Forcing in the Japan/East Sea.

摘要

The PI's long-range goal is to understand the physical processes of the air-sea interaction and coupling of the ocean and the atmosphere on the regional scale and to predict the variability of the coupled ocean-atmosphere system. The main objectives of this study are (1) to better understand the influence of the wintertime Siberian cold-air outbreaks and their interaction with the complex coastal terrain on the surface forcing in the JES region and (2) to investigate the effects of the surface winds and air-sea fluxes on the ocean circulations and surface waves in JES.
