Response of Surface Ocean Conditions to Typhoon Rammasun (2014)

Abstract

ABSTRACT Xu, Y. and Wang, Z., 2017. Response of surface ocean conditions to Typhoon Rammasun (2014). In: Zhi, Y. and Guido Aldana, P.A. (eds.), Sustainability of Water Resources and the Development of Coastal Environments: Select Proceedings from the 2016 International Conference on Water Resource and Environment (WRE2016). Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 80, pp. 92–97. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The response of wind and wave field during typhoon Rammasun (2014) is studied in this paper. The circular symmetric typhoon wind model Jelesnianski-II is used in this paper for typhoon wind simulation. Then, our simulated wind and the ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) wind were assimilated, as our newly developed reanalysis wind data, to provide wind fields for wave simulation. The new wind data is compared with the observation data, which shows a good agreement. The distributions of wind speed and wind direction are given in this paper. The wave is simulated ...
