Abstract

Recently it has been proposed (in a simple model study of the surface fluxes) that there is a robust mechanism linking the surface temperature and the surface wind via atmospheric angular momentum transport. The analysis of the simple model suggested that the proposed mechanism can enhance the stabilizing effect of evaporation on the surface temperature. This issue is studied here using a simple two zone hemispheric model of the atmosphere-ocean system. We relax the two critical assumptions from the above-mentioned study, namely the assumption of a constant air-sea temperature difference and constant near-surface relative humidity, respectively.
