Abstract
The influence of high resolutions sea surface temperatures (SST) on Nested Grid Model (NGM) predictions of rapid marine cyclogenesis is examined. Satellite data provides a gridded SST analysis with a resolution of 50 km. Forecasts using the operational "blended" SST analysis with a neutral stratification assumed in the calculation of surface exchange coefficient over the ocean are compared to forecasts using the high resolution SST analysis with a stability dependent surface exchange coefficient. Further comparison is made to NGM forecasts with no surface fluxes. This study covers the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 5 of the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERICA). Results show little sensitivity of central pressure and storm position to the high resolution SSTs. However, differences in mesoscale features are present, primarily surface fluxes, precipitation, and frontal circulations.

    Sensitivity of a Navy regional ocean model to high-resolution atmospheric and scatterometer wind forcing 

    Jones, Henry (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-09);
    As the focus of Navy attention shifts to littoral regions, higher resolution and re-locatable nested models have been developed to improve shallow-water operations for ocean prediction. One of the scientific and technical ...

    Global eddy-resolving ocean simulations driven by 1985-1995 atmospheric winds 

    Maltrud, Mathew E.; Smith, Richard D.; Semtner, Albert J.; Malone, Robert C. (American Geophysical Union, 1998-12);
    Results are presented from a high‐resolution global ocean model that is driven through three decadal cycles of increasingly realistic prescribed atmospheric forcing from the period 1985–1995. The model used (the Parallel ...
