摘要

Abstract

To investigate the relationship between surface currents and wave distributions in typhoons

we took the Typhoon Talim in 2017 as a case

and found that the track of the typhoon winds up to 50 m/s was almost consistent with the Kuroshio track

particularly from September 13 to 16

2017. The surface current data

derived from the NCEP Climate Forecast System Version 2 (CFSv2) from the National Center of Atmospheric Research (NCAR)

revealed that the speed of the wind-induced current exceeded that of the Kuroshio in the region with the maximum wind speed. In this study

was utilized a third-generation numeric wave model

WAVEWATCH-Ⅲ (the latest version 5.16)

developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)

to simulate the wave fields of Typhoon Talim using the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis wind data in 0.125°×0.125° grid as the forcing field. We found that the root-mean-square error (RMSE) of the significant wave height (SWH) was 0.34 m when validated against measurements from altimeter Jason-2. In addition

we discovered that the SWH had a similar tendency to the change in the surface current speed that was approximately 0.5 m/s at the beginning of Typhoon Talim. However

the relationship became weak as the surface current speed was below 0.2 m/s. Our findings show that the distribution of typhoon waves is resulted from the interaction of surface current and the wind-sea portion of the wave system

since the distribution pattern of wind-sea is consistent with the surface current

and there is a weak relationship between surface current and swell.
