Abstract
|
The objective of our research program was to observe the temporal and spatial evolution of typhoon cold wakes, in particular we directly observed the mixing associated with turbulence generated by the strong air-sea interaction in a typhoon. These observations will be used to make quantifiable assessments of mixed layer models under the extreme conditions of a typhoon. We also observed the restratification of the cold wake from air-sea fluxes to understand the subsequent evolution of the cold wake after the typhoon had passed.
