The CBLAST-Hurricane Program and the Next-Generation Fully Coupled Atmosphere–Wave–Ocean Models for Hurricane Research and Prediction

Intensification of a hurricane depends upon two competing processes at the air-sea interface-the heat and moisture fluxes that fuel the storm and the dissipation of kinetic energy associated with wind stress on the ocean surface. Model simulations are evaluated with observations of directional wave...

Description
Summary:Intensification of a hurricane depends upon two competing processes at the air-sea interface-the heat and moisture fluxes that fuel the storm and the dissipation of kinetic energy associated with wind stress on the ocean surface. Model simulations are evaluated with observations of directional wave spectra, SST, air-sea fluxes, profiles of the atmospheric boundary layer, ocean temperature, salinity, and current from various in situ, airborne, and satellite data.
