Impact of surface current and temperature feedback on kinetic energy over the North-East Atlantic from a coupled ocean / atmospheric boundary layer model
A one-dimensional Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL1D) model is coupled with the NEMO ocean model and implemented over the Iberian–Biscay–Ireland (IBI) area at 1/36° resolution to investigate the damping effect of the current and the thermal feedback on the kinetic energy (KE) at the mesoscale. This type of coupling between an ocean model and an ABL1D is a newly proposed approach as an alternative of intermediate complexity between bulk forcing and full coupling with an atmosphere model. In ABL1D, the prognostic tracers are nudged toward large-scale variables and the wind is guided by a low-frequency geostrophic wind provided from the ERA-Interim reanalyses. First, the ABL1D is successfully validated against satellite observations regarding the wind, and the dynamic coupling coefficient (linking the near surface wind and wind-stress to the of the surface currents) are consistent with the literature, over the period 2016–2017. Our results show that the thermal feedback has a negligible impact on kinetic energy (KE) and does not influence the strength of the current feedback in the region. Given the ABL1D physics, this further indicates that the changes in the vertical wind structure caused by CFB are primarily governed by local mechanical mechanisms associated with surface wind-stress condition, rather than by thermodynamic or non-local processes within the planetary boundary layer. The induced KE reduction by the current feedback amounts to 14% at the surface and propagates down to 2000 m, indicating that it can modify the vertical distribution of KE throughout the water column. KE reductions in the surface boundary layer (0 – 300 m) and in the interior (300 – 2000 m) are attributed to a reduction of the surface wind work by 4%, and of the pressure work by 7%, respectively. The Ekman pumping anomalies induced by the current feedback tend to attenuate eddy activity and horizontal pressure gradients at depth, illustrating the potential of the current feedback to induce a geostrophic adjustment on the water column. These results illustrate the relevance of the proposed ABL1D coupling approach for reproducing the wind-current coupling (a.k.a. current feedback effect) which cannot be taken into account straightforwardly with simple bulk forcing.
期刊介绍:
Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans is an international journal for research related to the dynamical and physical processes governing atmospheres, oceans and climate.
Authors are invited to submit articles, short contributions or scholarly reviews in the following areas:
•Dynamic meteorology
•Physical oceanography
•Geophysical fluid dynamics
•Climate variability and climate change
•Atmosphere-ocean-biosphere-cryosphere interactions
•Prediction and predictability
•Scale interactions
Papers of theoretical, computational, experimental and observational investigations are invited, particularly those that explore the fundamental nature - or bring together the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary aspects - of dynamical and physical processes at all scales. Papers that explore air-sea interactions and the coupling between atmospheres, oceans, and other components of the climate system are particularly welcome.
