Convectively Coupled Kelvin Waves in an Idealized Moist General Circulation Model
The dynamics of convectively coupled Kelvin waves and their dependence on convection scheme parameters are studied within a simplified moist general circulation model. The model consists of the primitive equations on the sphere over zonally symmetric aquaplanet, slab mixed layer ocean boundary conditions, and idealized physical parameterizations including gray radiative transfer and a simplifie...
متن کاملExcitation of Equatorial Kelvin and Yanai Waves by Tropical Cyclones in an Ocean General Circulation Model
Tropical cyclones (TCs) actively contribute to the dynamics of Earth’s coupled climate system. They influence oceanic mixing rates, upper-ocean heat content, and air–sea fluxes, with implications for atmosphere and ocean dynamics on multiple spatial and temporal scales. Using an ocean general circulation model with modified surface wind forcing, we explore how TC winds can excite equatorial oce...
متن کاملEffects of cloud-radiative heating on atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) simulations of convectively coupled equatorial waves
[1] This study examines the effects of cloud-radiative heating on convectively coupled equatorial waves simulated by the Seoul National University (SNU) atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM). The strength of cloud-radiative heating is adjusted by modifying the autoconversion rate needed for cloud condensates to grow up to raindrops. The results show that increasing the autoconversion rat...
متن کاملStructure of AGCM-Simulated Convectively Coupled Kelvin Waves and Sensitivity to Convective Parameterization
A study of the convectively coupled Kelvin wave (CCKW) properties from a series of atmospheric general circulation model experiments over observed sea surface temperatures is presented. The simulations are performed with two different convection schemes (a mass flux scheme and a moisture convergence scheme) using a range of convective triggers, which inhibit convection in different ways. Increa...
متن کاملImpact of atmospheric convectively coupled equatorial Kelvin waves on upper ocean variability
Convectively coupled Kelvin waves (CCKWs) are atmospheric weather systems that propagate eastward along the equatorial wave guide with phase speeds between 11 and 14ms . They are an important constituent of the convective envelope of the Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO), for which ocean-atmosphere interactions play a vital role. Hence, ocean-atmosphere interactions within CCKWs may be important ...
