Abstract
During typhoons, direct, reliable experimental observations of the atmosphere and sea surface are difficult. The target storm for the present experiment in 2023 was typhoon Khanun, a Category-4 storm. Two wave gliders, used as autonomous surface vehicles, were improved after assessing problems encountered during a 2022 storm. These improvements reduced equipment vibration and sensor damage on the wave gliders and resulted in uninterrupted data acquisition. Changing atmospheric and oceanographic phenomena were continuously observed before and after passage of the typhoon on both sides of the typhoon's course, and inside the storm zone. Meteorometers were mounted redundantly to evaluate sensors with different specifications and to assess the reliability of acquired data. Data collected at the sea surface during typhoons should enhance understanding of interactions between the atmosphere and ocean.
期刊介绍：
SOLA (Scientific Online Letters on the Atmosphere) is a peer-reviewed, Open Access, online-only journal. It publishes scientific discoveries and advances in understanding in meteorology, climatology, the atmospheric sciences and related interdisciplinary areas. SOLA focuses on presenting new and scientifically rigorous observations, experiments, data analyses, numerical modeling, data assimilation, and technical developments as quickly as possible. It achieves this via rapid peer review and publication of research letters, published as Regular Articles.
Published and supported by the Meteorological Society of Japan, the journal follows strong research and publication ethics principles. Most manuscripts receive a first decision within one month and a decision upon resubmission within a further month. Accepted articles are then quickly published on the journal’s website, where they are easily accessible to our broad audience.
