A51A:
Tropical Cyclone-Ocean Interactions: From Weather to Climate I


Session ID#: 11374

Session Description:
Tropical Cyclone (TC) ??Ocean interactions are critical processes for TC intensity change because the ocean is the energy source for TCs. The air-sea interaction processes involve energy and momentum exchange between TC and the ocean and are important in both TC (i.e., short-term) and climate (i.e., long-term) timescales. In the TC timescale, TC-ocean interactions are critical to intensity forecasting. The intense TC wind also made significant impact to the ocean through entrainment mixing and upwelling. In climate timescale, how the future ocean will evolve has strong implications for future TC activity projection and consequential societal impact. Meanwhile, natural inter-annual (e.g., ENSO) and inter-decadal (e.g., the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation) and global warming also affect the ocean, TC, and their interactions. This session welcomes submissions under the broad discipline of TC-ocean physical and biogeochemical interactions from
weather to climate timescales. It intends to provide a friendly platform for interactions among oceanographers, atmospheric scientists, and climatologists in this multi-disciplinary field.
