Turbulent eddies play a critical role in oceanic flows. Direct measurements of turbulent eddy fluxes beneath the sea surface were taken to study the direction of flux-carrying eddies as a means of supplementing our understanding of vertical fluxes ex...
An ensemble-based SST nudging method proposed for correcting the subsurface temperature field in climate model
Xingrong Chen, Hui Wang, Fei Zheng, Qifa Cai
2020, 39(3): 73-80. doi: 10.1007/s13131-020-1568-2
Abstract:
An ensemble-based assimilation method is proposed for correcting the subsurface temperature field when nudging the sea surface temperature (SST) observations into the Max Planck Institute (MPI) climate model, ECHAM5/MPI-OM. This method can project SS...
Surface warming patterns dominate the uncertainty in global water vapor plus lapse rate feedback
Jingchun Zhang, Jian Ma, Jing Che, Zhenqiang Zhou, Guoping Gao
2020, 39(3): 81-89. doi: 10.1007/s13131-019-1531-2
Abstract:
Climate feedbacks have been usually estimated using changes in radiative effects associated with increased global-mean surface temperature. Feedback uncertainties, however, are not only functions of global-mean surface temperature increase. In projec...
Effects of tropical cyclone paths and shelf bathymetry on inducement of severe storm surges in the Gulf of Thailand
