Abstract
Abstract A one-dimensional version of the Garwood bulk, oceanic mixed layer model is used to simulate the short- term response in a 60° sector. The atmospheric forcing is derived from a version of the UCLA general circulation model used by Sandgathe to study the role of air-sea fluxes in maritime cyclogenesis. A five-day integration of the ocean model is made using the complete 3 h momentum and heat flux histories as calculated by the sophisticated planetary boundary layer, latent heat and radiative parameterizations of the UCLA model. The zonal mean sea-surface temperature changes during the five days include increases of 0.4°C per day in equatorial regions and decreases of 0.2°C per day along the Northern Hemisphere storm track. Ocean temperature changes and the associated atmospheric forcing are related using a storm-following coordinate system. In addition to the general rapid warming of the ocean surface layers in the tropical regions, there is a large horizontal variability. High surface temperature...
