20.500.12556/DiRROS-19882 Modeling the ocean and atmosphere during an extreme bora event in northern Adriatic using one-way and two-way atmosphere-ocean coupling We have studied the performances of (a) a two-way coupled atmosphere%ocean modeling system and (b) one-way coupled ocean model (forced by the atmosphere model), as compared to the available in situ measurements during and after a strong Adriatic bora wind event in February 2012, which led to extreme air%sea interactions. The simulations span the period between January and March 2012. The models used were ALADIN (Aire Limitée Adaptation dynamique Développement InterNational) (4.4 km resolution) on the atmosphere side and an Adriatic setup of Princeton ocean model (POM) (1%=30%1%=30 angular resolution) on the ocean side. The atmosphere%ocean coupling was implemented using the OASIS3-MCT model coupling toolkit. Two-way coupling ocean feedback to the atmosphere is limited to sea surface temperature. We have compared modeled atmosphere%ocean fluxes and sea temperatures from both setups to platform and CTD (conductivity, temperature, and depth) measurements from three locations in the northern Adriatic.We present objective verification of 2m atmosphere temperature forecasts using mean bias and standard deviation of errors scores from 23 meteorological stations in the eastern part of Italy. We show that turbulent fluxes from both setups differ up to 20° during the bora but not significantly before and after the event. When compared to observations, two-way coupling ocean temperatures exhibit a 4 times lower root mean square errors (RMSE) than those from one-way coupled system. Two-way coupling improves sensible heat fluxes at all stations but does not improve latent heat loss. The spatial average of the two-way coupled atmosphere component is up to 0.3 °C colder than the one-way coupled setup, which is an improvement for prognostic lead times up to 20 h. Daily spatial average of the standard deviation of air temperature errors shows 0.15 °C improvement in the case of coupled system compared to the uncoupled. Coupled and uncoupled circulations in the northern Adriatic are predominantly wind-driven and show no significant mesoscale differences. sea marine water numerical modeling physical oceanography dense water bora wind Adriatic sea Mediterranean sea Adriatic shelf true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2024-07-26 09:36:56 2024-07-26 09:36:56 2024-07-29 04:02:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2016 0 0 str. 71-86 vol. 12 2016 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2016-01-15 550.3 1812-0784 10.5194/os-12-71-2016 3702095 http://www.ocean-sci.net/12/71/2016/os-12-71-2016.html 1 1455f07a-4b11-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27571 RAZ_Licer_Matjaz_2016.pdf RAZ_Licer_Matjaz_2016.pdf 1 1BBDEC6861D3078E83C7BC25D1E2DAA2 e113b20f58a4ea990b97e6729d6302e1a3ceba8f7821530026a43bd8d70a2671 4f963d6f-4b11-11ef-b487-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=27572 Nacionalni inštitut za biologijo 0 0 0
