Dynamics of Atmospheric Response to Midlatitude SST Anomalies

伊利诺伊华特大学ATM-9903503Robinson标题：大气对中纬度SST异常的响应合作研究(彭/大学科博尔德和罗宾逊/大学Ill Urbana Champaign)将更好地理解对中纬度海温异常产生相当正压脊状响应所涉及的动力学。还将研究响应对中纬度大气-海洋相互作用的影响。该项目包括三个部分：(A)理想化的模型实验；(B)GCM实验；(C)机械诊断。理想化模式将被用来寻找太平洋和大西洋温暖海温的最佳位置，以触发有利于强脊反应的最强正涡旋反馈。PI将使用GCM测试来自理想化模型实验的预测。这项工作很重要，因为它将增进对中纬度海温在气候变异性中的作用的理解。

AbstractATM-9903503Robinson, WalterUniversity of IllinoisTitle: Dynamics of Atmospheric Response to Midlatitude SST AnomaliesThe collaborative research (Peng/Univ. Co Boulder and Robinson/Univ. Ill Urbana Champaign) will develop a better understanding of the dynamics involved in generating an equivalent-barotropic ridge response to midlatitude SST anomalies. The impact of the response on midlatitude atmosphere-ocean interactions will also be examined. There are three components to this project (a) idealized model experiments; (b) GCM experiments and (c) mechanistic diagnoses. The idealized models will be used to find optimal locations in the Pacific and the Atlantic for warm SSTs to trigger the strongest positive eddy feedback favorable for robust ridge responses. The PIs will test predictions from the idealized model experiments using the GCM. The work is important because it will increase understanding of the role of midlatitude SSTs in climate variability.
