摘要

Abstract

At the interface between the lower atmosphere and sea surface

sea spray might significantly influence air-sea heat fluxes and subsequently

modulate upper ocean temperature during a typhoon passage. The effects of sea spray were introduced into the parameterization of sea surface roughness in a 1-D turbulent model

to investigate the effects of sea spray on upper ocean temperature in the Kuroshio Extension area

for the cases of two real typhoons from 2006

Yagi and Soulik. Model output was compared with data from the Kuroshio Extension Observatory (KEO)

and Reynolds and AMSRE satellite remote sensing sea surface temperatures. The results indicate drag coefficients that include the spray effect are closer to observations than those without

and that sea spray can enhance the heat fluxes (especially latent heat flux) considerably during a typhoon passage. Consequently

the model results with heat fluxes enhanced by sea spray simulate better the cooling process of the SST and upper-layer temperature profiles. Additionally

results from the simulation of the passage of typhoon Soulik (that passed KEO quickly)

which included the sea spray effect

were better than for the simulated passage of typhoon Yagi (that crossed KEO slowly). These promising 1-D results could provide insight into the application of sea spray in general circulation models for typhoon studies.
