Abstract
Coupled atmosphere-ocean model has been developed in various organizations. Warner et al. developed fully coupled model, so-called COAWST, using the atmosphere model WRF, the ocean model ROMS and the wave model SWAN. Though there are several studies with coupled model, there is few research on tropical cyclone event analyzing the changes in ocean current and water temperature in detail. In this study, a series of numerical simulations was carried out targeting Typhoon Melor (2009), and it is analyzed against to the meteorologic and oceanic field data at Tanabe bay, Wakayama Prefecture in Japan. The results show that the wave energy dissipation by the wave model is effective in the change of ocean current and the thermal feedback by the atmospheric model is effective in the change of water temperature due to the typhoon passage.
