Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Model Studies of Short- term Climatic Variations in the Equatorial Pacific

标题：赤道太平洋短期气候变化的海洋-大气中尺度耦合模式研究这笔赠款是为了支持一项模拟和数据分析工作，以更好地理解导致热带海洋气候和短期气候变化的物理过程。这项工作带来了三个主要的建模组件。重点放在多尺度的相互作用上。对模式结果的诊断研究将为热带现象--马登-朱利安涛动(MJO)和厄尔尼诺南方涛动(ENSO)的起源、发展和传播的性质提供极其有用的信息。这些研究对于更好地了解西太平洋暖池和整个赤道海洋在气候和气候变异性中的作用将是重要的。

Abstract ATM96-13779 Weare, Bryan C. University of California, Davis Title: Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoscale Model Studies of Short-term Climatic Variations in the Equatorial Pacific This grant is to support a modeling and data analysis effort to better understand the physical processes responsible for the climate and the short term climate change over the tropical oceans. This work brings to bear three major modeling components. The focus is on the multiscale interactions. Diagnostic studies of the results from the models will provide extremely useful information as to the nature of the initiation, development, and propagation of the tropical phenomena, Madden -Julian Oscillation (MJO) and the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO). These studies will be important in gaining a better understanding of the role of the Western Pacific Warm Pool (WPWP) and the equatorial oceans as a whole in climate and climate variability.
