Observations of Surface Forcing from the Subduction Experiment: A Comparison with Global Model Products and Climatological Datasets*

摘要: Abstract Reliable estimates of the exchange heat, moisture, and momentum across air–sea interface are essential in assessing local “representativeness” surface forcing fields depicted by global model climatological datasets. The reliability extended length situ data collected a large-scale array buoys deployed during Subduction Experiment make this dataset particularly well suited to providing such an assessment. was designed explore process which mixed layer waters eastern subtropical North Atlantic incorporated into top main thermocline. To end, five maintained between 18°–33°N 22°–34°W from June 1991 1993. In dynamic, thermodynamic, radiometric measurements utilized along with state-of-the-art bulk flux algorithm estimate time-dependent at each buoys. resulting fluxes compared similar quantities...
