Abstract
The main goal of this investigation is to improve the understanding of ocean-atmosphere coupling during hurricanes. The present work involves the integration of the ocean-atmosphere coupled components of the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport Modeling System in the Very Short Term Prediction System (SisPI). Three experiments are performed: First, using a dynamic sea surface temperature, consistent with the daily updated atmospheric model Weather Research and Forecast (SisPI); second, using the Regional Oceanic Modeling System and third, using a dynamic coupling between the atmospheric and the oceanic models. The coupled system improves the tracks of the hurricane simulations respect to the SisPI. The use of the oceanic model allows a more detailed representation of the sea surface temperature. Using the coupled model, a more precise diurnal cycle of the surface net heat fluxes is obtained.
