1 New Observations of Ocean Response to a Hurricane Thomas B. Sanford and James B. Girton Applied Physics Laboratory and School of Oceanography University of Washington In collaboration with: Eric A. D Asaro Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington Seattle, WA James F. Price Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution Woods Hole, MA Douglas C. Webb Webb Research Corporation East Falmouth, MA 02536
2 EDDIES Experiment Future Directions CLIMODE; DIMES Hurricanes and strongly forced situationss ARGO float program Outline Introduction to EM-APEX: A new autonomous profiler measuring velocity through motional induction CBLAST Hurricane Experiment Upper ocean observations Wind stress and currents Mixing and surface cooling Near-inertial wave radiation Sub-Inertial currents Surface waves Model comparison Dynamics of mixing and wave propagation Drag coefficient evaluation
3 Velocity Profiles Based on the Physics of Motional Electromagnetic Induction The horizontal components of the motionally induced ocean electric field as measured by sensors moving with the horizontal flow are (Sanford, JGR, 1971): h φ a - F z (v(z) - v*) k where h φ a is the measured (apparent) potential gradient at a sensor moving with velocity v, F z is the vertical component of the Earth s magnetic field, σ is electrical conductivity, v* is the vertically-integrated, conductivity-weighted ocean velocity and k is the vertical unit vector. Hence the measured ocean voltage gradient can be converted to a relative velocity profile.

15 Float Timeseries (animation by Jim Price) QuickTime and a YUV420 codec decompressor are needed to see this picture.
16 Float 1633: Early Stage at Highest Wind from 3D-PWP model by Jim Price (documented in Price, Sanford and Forristall, JPO 1994)

30 EM-APEX CBLAST Conclusions Upper ocean response to a hurricane can now be observed in unprecedented detail: Acceleration of wind-driven currents (inertial motions > 1.2 m/s) Surface layer modification (deepens by 80 m and cools by 2.5 C) Shear instability (Richardson number) dominant process Vertical internal wave energy flux (including rapid inertial pumping) Surface waves (significant wave height and dominant period) Inertial waves and subinertial response in and after cyclone Comparison with an upper-ocean model (3D-PWP) allows the direct evaluation of model dynamics and extends interpretation of sparse data: Decreasing drag coefficient at high wind speeds is supported by mixed layer acceleration and comparison of model SST cooling
31 Future Directions More hurricane observations for acceleration and mixing statistics in different storms Spatial arrays for ship-based and Lagrangian process studies; e.g. air-sea interaction and mixing studies Southern Ocean finestructure and mixing (DIMES) Internal tide and near-inertial energy: geographical distribution and fluxes Mode water formation (CLIMODE) Mesoscale eddy fluxes: heat, salt, thickness Global profiling in ARGO float program for velocity, shear, strain, mixing (e.g., Ri, Kρ), model verification
32 Future Directions: : Half-IP Profiles to Resolve Mean and IP Velocity Structure Half-IP profiles taken by EM-APEX floats every 10 days could enhance ARGO program
