Coupled ocean-cloud-resolving simulations of the air-sea interaction over the equatorial western Pacific

A cloud-resolving model coupled to an ocean model with high vertical resolution is used to investigate air-sea interactions in 10-day long simulations. Models fields showed good agreement with two different convective regimes during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Resea...

Summary:A cloud-resolving model coupled to an ocean model with high vertical resolution is used to investigate air-sea interactions in 10-day long simulations. Models fields showed good agreement with two different convective regimes during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Research Experiment (TOGA COARE) Intensive Observing Period.
