Cloud‐resolving simulation of TOGA‐COARE using parameterized large‐scale dynamics [PDF]
Variations in deep convective activity during the 4 month Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere‐Coupled Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA‐COARE) field campaign are simulated using a cloud‐resolving model (CRM). Convection in the model is coupled to large‐scale vertical velocities that are parameterized using one of two different methods: the damped

Regional Study on the Oceanic Cool Skin and Diurnal Warming Effects: Observing and Modeling
The cool skin and diurnal warming effects are important factors affecting the vertical temperature gradient in the upper ocean. Accurately understanding skin effects is of great significance for studying ocean–atmosphere modeling and climate change.

Momentum and buoyancy transfer in atmospheric turbulent boundary layer over wavy water surface – Part 2: Wind–wave spectra [PDF]
Drag and mass exchange coefficients are calculated within a self-consistent problem for the wave-induced air perturbations and mean velocity and density fields using a quasi-linear model based on the Reynolds equations with down-gradient turbulence ...

Observations and modelling of 1/f-noise in weather and climate [PDF]
Data with power spectra close to S(f)~1/f is denoted as 1/f or flicker noise. High resolution measurements during TOGA/COARE for temperature, humidity, and wind speed (1\,min resolution) reveal 1/f spectra while precipitation shows no power-law scaling ...

TOGA COARE shipborne radar‐rainfall products [PDF]
Rainfall products derived from radar data often consume vast amounts of storage space and are time‐consuming to analyze. Shipborne radar data collected during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean‐Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) provide an extensive data set to examine rainfall characteristics in the tropical Western Pacific ...

Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Freshwater Lenses in the Ocean’s Near-Surface Layer [PDF]
Convective rains in the Intertropical Convergence Zone produce lenses of freshened water on the ocean surface. Due to significant density differences between the freshened and saltier seawater, strong pressure gradients develop, resulting in lateral ...

Environmental Variability during TOGA COARE
Abstract This study provides quantitative estimates of the thermodynamic and kinematic structures of the troposphere during various convective regimes observed during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment. The data source is the upper air soundings from six stations in the intensive flux array.
