Buoyancy of Convective Clouds in TOGA COARE
Journals of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1998 Abstract The buoyancy of convective clouds in TOGA COARE was calculated from the NCAR Electra in situ measurements of temperature, humidity, liquid water content, and two-dimensional images of raindrops. Most of the measurements were made at 700 mb (10°C) although some were made at 850 (18°C) and 600 mb (2°C).

Multiscale Air–Sea Interactions during TOGA COARE
Monthly Weather Review, 1997 Abstract Two distinct intraseasonal oscillations (ISO) are found in the tropical ocean atmosphere in the western Pacific region during Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (TOGA COARE). The ISO is characterized by cycles of dry–wet phases in the atmosphere due to the passage of Madden–Julian oscillations, and ...

Regional Study on the Oceanic Cool Skin and Diurnal Warming Effects: Observing and Modeling
Remote Sensing, 2023 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]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2013 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]
Advances in Science and Research, 2011 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 ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 As a critical physical parameter in the sea–air interface, sea surface temperature (SST) plays a crucial role in the sea–air interaction process. The SST diurnal cycle is one of the most critical changes that occur in the various time scales of SST ...

Three-Dimensional Dynamics of Freshwater Lenses in the Ocean’s Near-Surface Layer [PDF]
Oceanography, 2015 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 ...

TOGA COARE shipborne radar‐rainfall products [PDF]
Water Resources Research, 1999 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 ...

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023 Abstract Cumulus parameterization (CP) in state‐of‐the‐art global climate models is based on the quasi‐equilibrium assumption (QEA), which views convection as the action of an ensemble of cumulus clouds, in a state of equilibrium with respect to a slowly varying atmospheric state.
