Book excerpt: The Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) is the leading mode of tropical intraseasonal variability affecting the global weather and climate. The MJO is characterized by large-scale organized convection and its associated circulation that develops over the tropical Indian Ocean (IO) and propagates into the West Pacific Ocean (WP) across the Maritime Continent (MC). The MJO has direct impacts on extreme rainfall and flooding over the MC, Southeast Asia and north Australia and tropical cyclones over the IO. The MJO’s downstream influences include tropical cyclones, atmospheric rivers, heat waves, and episodes of drought and flooding. Though the MJO has been the subject of many observational and modeling studies, it remains a challenging phenomenon for both theoretical understanding and accurate prediction in global weather and climate models. The overarching goal of this dissertation is to better understand the physical processes affecting the eastward propagation of the MJO from the IO to the WP and improve MJO modeling and prediction. In contrast to many existing MJO studies, we use a novel approach of identifying and tracking MJO events through their large-scale precipitation. Identifying individual MJO events as a physical phenomenon enables us to study the MJO and its in- teraction with the atmosphere, ocean, and land in its environment. We begin by using high- resolution coupled atmosphere-ocean model simulations and satellite- and field campaignobservations to study the physical processes that impact the MJO’s eastward propagation over the IO (Chapters 2 and 3). We follow up by conducting coupled model sensitivity experiments to better understand the MC barrier effects on the MJO (Chapter 4). Finally, we use 20 years of satellite-derived precipitation observations to investigate the seasonal and interannual variability of the MJO eastward propagation and its zonal and meridional variability (Chapter 5). Our findings confirm that the eastward propagation of MJO convection/precipitation is affected by how it interacts with its local ocean and land environments, and is modulated by seasonal and interannual variability. We identify some critical pathways that can help improve MJO modeling and prediction through a better representation of:Chapter 2: The multi-scale convective structure of the MJO. Chapter 3: Air-sea interaction of the MJO and its effect on the upper ocean. Chapter 4: Air-sea-land interactions over the MC. We find that:• Cloud-permitting resolution is better able to represent the various scales on which pre- cipitation occurs within the MJO (convective, mesoscale, and large-scale organization), and how convection interacts with the marine boundary layer. • Strong surface winds and intense precipitation associated with the MJO induce sea surface temperature and upper ocean cooling. Reduced air-sea fluxes create an envi- ronment unfavorable for sustaining intense precipitation, contributing to the MJO’s eastward propagation. • Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) forming over islands suppress convection over surrounding waters, over which the MJO prefers to propagate through the region. The land-based MCSs grow larger and more intense when MC topography is flattened, which enhances the MC barrier effect. We also show that on a broader scale, MJO convection/precipitation and eastward prop- agation are modulated by modes of seasonal and interannual variability (Chapter 5). The seasonal cycle significantly affects both the zonal and meridional structure of the MJO, including its initiation, termination, and eastward propagation. On longer time scales, cli- mate variability associated with sea surface temperature patterns over the Indian and Pacific oceans (ENSO, Indian ocean dipole) can shift low-level zonal wind convergence regions to- ward or away from the MC. Low-level zonal wind convergence can provide background ascent that amplifies MJO activity, and can strongly affect the zonal variability of the MJO. Unlike the direct link between SST variability and the MJO, upper-tropospheric zonal wind vari- ability associated with the QBO shows a strong seasonal dependence and generally much weaker control over MJO propagation. The strength of the MC barrier on MJO propagation also shows seasonal and interannual variability and is linked to a combination of the back- ground state and the location of MJO convection. The MC barrier effect is weakest during the peak monsoon seasons (Dec-Mar and June-Aug) and during La Niña months, and it is strongest during the monsoon transition seasons (Apr-Jun and Sep-Nov) and ENSO-neutral conditions.

Download or read book Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes written by Lakshmi H. Kantha and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-08-08 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceans play a pivotal role in our weather and climate. Ocean-borne commerce is vital to our increasingly close-knit global community. Yet we do not fully understand the intricate details of how they function, how they interact with the atmosphere, and what the limits are to their biological productivity and their tolerance to wastes. While satellites are helping us to fill in the gaps, numerical ocean models are playing an important role in increasing our ability to comprehend oceanic processes, monitor the current state of the oceans, and to a limited extent, even predict their future state.Numerical Models of Oceans and Oceanic Processes is a survey of the current state of knowledge in this field. It brings together a discussion of salient oceanic dynamics and processes, numerical solution methods, and ocean models to provide a comprehensive treatment of the topic. Starting with elementary concepts in ocean dynamics, it deals with equatorial, mid-latitude, high latitude, and coastal dynamics from the perspective of a modeler. A comprehensive and up-to-date chapter on tides is also included. This is followed by a discussion of different kinds of numerical ocean models and the pre- and post-processing requirements and techniques. Air-sea and ice-ocean coupled models are described, as well as data assimilation and nowcast/forecasts. Comprehensive appendices on wavelet transforms and empirical orthogonal functions are also included.This comprehensive and up-to-date survey of the field should be of interest to oceanographers, atmospheric scientists, and climatologists. While some prior knowledge of oceans and numerical modeling is helpful, the book includes an overview of enough elementary material so that along with its companion volume, Small Scale Processes in Geophysical Flows, it should be useful to both students new to the field and practicing professionals. * Comprehensive and up-to-date review* Useful for a two-semester (or one-semester on selected topics) graduate level course* Valuable reference on the topic* Essential for a better understanding of weather and climate

Download or read book The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind written by Peter Janssen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves affect weather forecasting on timescales of 5 to 90 days. Winds generate ocean waves, but at the same time airflow is modified due to the loss of energy and momentum to the waves; thus, momentum loss from the atmosphere to the ocean depends on the state of the waves. This volume discusses ocean wave evolution according to the energy balance equation. An extensive overview of nonlinear transfer is given, and as a by-product the role of four-wave interactions in the generation of extreme events, such as freak waves, is discussed. Effects on ocean circulation are described. Coupled ocean-wave, atmosphere modelling gives improved weather and wave forecasts. This volume will interest ocean wave modellers, physicists and applied mathematicians, and engineers interested in shipping and coastal protection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost half the U.S. population lives along the coast. In another 20 years this population is expected to more than double in size. The unique weather and climate of the coastal zone, circulating pollutants, altering storms, changing temperature, and moving coastal currents affect air pollution and disaster preparedness, ocean pollution, and safeguarding near-shore ecosystems. Activities in commerce, industry, transportation, freshwater supply, safety, recreation, and national defense also are affected. The research community engaged in studies of coastal meteorology in recent years has made significant advancements in describing and predicting atmospheric properties along coasts. Coastal Meteorology reviews this progress and recommends research that would increase the value and application of what is known today.
