A14B:
Impact of the Ocean on Forecasting the Earth System from Weather to Climate Scales Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session

Session ID#: 8383

Session Description:
Earth System Models coupling ocean-atmosphere-ice models have been run at coarse resolution for climate studies for than a decade.  New efforts are underway to extend coupled weather models at high resolution to longer time scales and increase the resolution of existing coupled climate models.  Eddy heat flux and frontal air-sea interaction are different between the coarse and high resolution coupled models.  These differences potentially may impact the results from climate change simulations.  We seek talks describing the differences in the coupled systems at different resolution and the impact of the ocean and its parameterization on air-sea interaction in coupled earth system models.
