The mechanisms by which sea surface temperatures (SSTs) decrease by passage of typhoons under various initial oceanic conditions and the atmospheric boundary conditions were investigated. A stronger wind stress, slower typhoon translation, excessive heat flux from the sea to the atmosphere, a thinner initial mixed layer, and a greater vertical gradient of the sea temperature in the thermocline layer, all have an effect on mixed layer temperature (MLT) cooling. MLT cooling occurs through intermingled processes by enhanced entrainment and upwelling. In contrast, horizontal advection produced by near-inertial oscillation has a slight effect on determining the distributions of MLTs. The depth in the mixed layer near the area along the typhoon track is determined by the magnitudes of the wind stresses and the translation speeds irrespective of the initial thickness of the mixed layer. In addition, under different wind stresses, translation speeds, and vertical profiles of sea temperatures, the MLT cooling is closely related to the ratio of maximum variation of depth by upwelling to the maximum thickness of the mixed layer. The ratio of maximum variation of depth by upwelling to the maximum thickness of the mixed layer under conditions of excessive heat fluxes, is the same as that under conditions of no heat flux. However, MLT cooling under conditions in which the maximum heat flux reaches 800W/m2 is 0.7°C greater than those in no heat flux. In this case, seawater cooling at the transition layer caused by entrainment influences MLT cooling. Numerical simulations were conducted to elucidate the 3°C SST cooling by Typhoon Rex that was observed by R/V Keifu Maru of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The SST variation obtained by numerical simulation captures the aspects of observational SSTs reported by R/V Keifu Maru, in that the SST rapidly decreases and the maximum SST cooling reaches about 3°C. This rapid SST cooling is mainly caused by the stronger wind stresses and slower translation speeds of Typhoon Rex. The ocean heat contents, based on the model-computed sea temperature, are closely related to the intensities of Typhoon Rex.

Zonal symmetric atmospheric motions are dominant in the tropical latitudes, suggesting that the meridional mass transport there depends largely on Hadley-type circulation. Simulated movements of air parcels were analyzed in low latitudes under ideal axially symmetric conditions to evaluate the contribution of this meridional circulation to interhemispheric exchanges. A three-dimensional atmospheric general circulation model was modified into an axially symmetric model. It demonstrated that a cross-equatorial mass exchange often takes place easily as air parcels reach a simulated inter tropical convergence zone (ITCZ). Unsteady components of atmospheric northward or southward motions are important for a cross-equatorial mass exchange, and meridional asymmetry of the Hadley circulation due to displacement of the ITCZ from the equator greatly influences the characteristics of a mass exchange, such as the amount of exchangeable air mass and the mass exchange time. The mass exchange time in simulated ideal Hadley circulations was estimated to be 0.1 to 0.2 yr. The model in this study is ideal axially symmetric, so this exchange time scale should not be applied directly to 3-D global models or the real world. However, it is very interesting and important that this time scale is much shorter than those obtained from conventional analyses of the observed distribution of minor constituents, and that the idealized Hadley circulation induced in the model tropics performs a more efficient interhemispheric exchange.

The GRIPS solar intercomparison project presented here is part of the “GCM Reality Intercomparison Project for SPARC (GRIPS)” focusing only on the influence of 11-year solar-cycle variations on the atmosphere. The aim of the present comparison is to assess the problems related to the simulation of the solar influence in order to better define future experiments. Results from different GCMs will be presented to investigate whether there is any consistency between them or with existing model studies and observations. Each of the different GCMs used the same wavelength-dependent solar irradiance changes as well as the resulting ozone changes calculated with 2-D chemical models enabling a better intercomparison of the different GCMs. It turns out that each model response is different and that the model results are dependent on the model climatologies that vary widely both among themselves and with observations. One of the major problems encountered during the comparison is the lack of reliable observational evidence for the solar influence on climate (e.g., temperature, ozone). There are also important uncertainties of the forcings used for the model simulations (solar energy spectrum, ozone).

In this paper, we studied the equatorial monsoon systems and its association with the dipole mode in the Indian Ocean using NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, outgoing long-wave radiation (OLR) and sea-surface temperature (SST) data. The western Indian Ocean is characterized by a prominent semi-annual cycle, in contrast, the eastern Indian Ocean is dominated by an annual cycle. Because of the above phase difference in the tropical Indian Ocean between its western and eastern regions, the east-west (colder-warmer) SST contrast is usually enhanced in autumn. The inter-annual dipole mode, usually seen in autumn, can be understood as a result of the enforced climatological SST contrast. The termination of the dipole mode is closely connected with the appearance of the climatological suppressed convection during February-March over the entire tropical Indian Ocean. The influence of the reversed Walker Circulation on the Indian Ocean, in response to the ENSO event, exhibits a distinct seasonal difference. If a divergent wind appears in summer over the Indian Ocean, the resultant SST becomes warmer (colder) in the western (eastern) Indian Ocean through air-sea interaction. Thus, the seasonal differences of the coupling process between the monsoon and the ENSO may be a significant factor for understanding the phase-locking feature of the dipole mode.

A kind of thermal forcing (negative forcing, i.e., cooling) is introduced into Eady waves in the two-dimensional semigeostrophic system. As a result of the forcing, the potential vorticity is Newtonian-damped to a positive constant value. In the presence of the forcing, Eady waves with wave numbers in some range are destabilized (i.e., the growth rate is augmented compared with the adiabatic case) in the far future. However, in the early period up to about twice [t] (the temporal scale of the considered phenomena), the stabilizing effect (i.e., diminishing growth rate) is dominant. The destabilizing effect clearly emerges only after three to four times [t].
