Abstract

Some peculiarities of behavior of the SOA thermal and MCW characteristics of the atmosphere during prestorm situations in water areas monitored directly and remotely are considered. The objects of research are a region of the SMKF1 station (Sombrero Key) in the Florida Straight in August 2005 and Golubaya Bay in the Black Sea in September 2010, several days before an intensive storm. Using the sea station meteorological and satellite MCW radiometric data we studied some common and specific features in behavior of the SOA during time periods preceding the approach of Hurricane Katrina to the region of SMKF1 and development of the sea storm near the Golubaya Bay. The similar features in the behavior of some SOA characteristics are observed, i.e., a monotone increase in the surface air temperature and humidity, total moisture content and enthalpy of the atmosphere, and the SOA brightness temperature, as well as a decrease in the intensity of heat exchange between the water surface and atmosphere.
