Abstract:A high-resolution coupled atmosphere-ocean-wave model is developed for typhoon early warning, and is applied to the case of Typhoon Chaba (2004). The coupled model is based on three existing models: MM5 as the atmospheric model, CCM as the oceanic model, and SWAN as the wave model. The ocean coupling has an important effect on the storm intensity change, due to the cooling of the sea surface temperature impacted by the storm. It is argued that inclusion of air-sea interaction processes is necessary to reduce the positive intensity bias often observed in mature storms.
