Modeling the Tropical Climate State and Its Interannual Variability with Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Land Models

Am-9615952 Jin，夏威夷大学菲菲分校题目：用海洋-大气-陆地耦合模式模拟热带气候状态及其年际变化这个项目是美国国家科学基金资助的研究的继续，研究热带海洋-大气的年度和年际相互作用。热带气候指数旨在研究热带气候状态、年周期和年际变化，以及它们之间的相互作用，使用一个概念模式来概述主要机制。中间耦合模型(ICM)将被用作详细的分叉研究和数值模拟的主要工具，以了解简单概念模型和中间耦合模型所强调的主要物理过程的作用。这项研究将加深我们对热带海洋-大气系统中观测到的热带气候状态的本质及其年际和年际变化的理解。

Abstract ATM-9615952 Jin, Fei-fei University of Hawaii Title: Modeling the Tropical Climate State and its Interannual Variability with Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Land Models This project is a continuation of NSF supported research which investigates annual and interannual tropical ocean-atmosphere interactions. The PI intends to study the tropical climate state, its annual cycle, and interannual variability as well as their interactions using a conceptual model to outline principal mechanisms. An Intermediate Coupled Model (ICM) will be used as a main tool for detailed bifurcation study and numerical simulation to understand the roles of the principal physical processes highlighted by the simple conceptual model and the ICM. This study will advance our understanding of the nature of the tropical climate state and its annual and interannual variability observed in tropical ocean-atmosphere system and simulated by coupled models.
