The associated large anomalies and gradients of surface current and SST modify the surface stress, triggering so-called mesoscale air-sea interactions. This presentation will discuss results from high-resolution regional coupled model simulations with a scale-separation of the air-sea coupling, showing that mesoscale air-sea interactions through SST and surface current exert dynamically distinct influences on the energetics of these boundary current systems. Effect of SST-wind coupling is manifested most strongly in the Ekman pumping velocity, which primarily affects the position of the eddy fields but not their amplitude. In contrast, the current-wind coupling substantially reduces the total wind work, thus the mean and eddy kinetic energy. The vorticity-induced Ekman pumping through the current-wind coupling further attenuates the eddy amplitude. Significant time-mean responses in SST and evaporation are found due to the current-wind coupling in the Arabian Sea, suggesting its potential importance to downstream atmospheric monsoon circulation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EIf you are interested in talking with Dr. Seo, please contact Shellby Miller.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Distinct influence of air-sea coupling mediated by mesoscale SST and current on the California and Somali Current Systems"}],"uid":"33273","created_gmt":"2017-09-28 21:03:22","changed_gmt":"2018-01-16 16:08:58","author":"Emanuele Di Lorenzo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-10-23T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-10-23T13:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-10-23T13:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-10-23 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-10-23 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-10-23 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"596650":{"id":"596650","type":"image","title":"Dr. Hyodae Seo","body":null,"created":"1506632273","gmt_created":"2017-09-28 20:57:53","changed":"1506632273","gmt_changed":"2017-09-28 20:57:53","alt":"","file":{"fid":"227409","name":"171023_Seo.png","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/171023_Seo.png","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/171023_Seo.png","mime":"image\/png","size":1036115,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/171023_Seo.png?itok=za-NLaSa"}}},"media_ids":["596650"],"groups":[{"id":"565971","name":"Ocean Science and Engineering (OSE)"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"175712","name":"Hyodae Seo"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EShellby Miller\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EAdministrative Professional I\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nSchool of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nGeorgia Institute of Technology\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nEnvironmental Science and Technology Building\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nEmail:\u0026nbsp;smiller94@gatech.edu\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
