- Air-sea fluxes parameterization
, , 1900
In FIO-AOW, the atmospheric component (WRF), ocean surface wave component (MASNUM), and ocean circulation component (POM & ROMS) are physically coupled together by introducing these processes: 1. Thermal effect of sea spray on air-sea heat and moisture fluxes 2. Sea state dependent air-sea momentum flux 3. Non-breaking wave-induced vertical mixing 4. Relative wind speed 5. Rain-induced surface cooling
