NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS WITH A COUPLED OCEAN—ATMOSPHERE MODEL FOR THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC

K. P. Belyaev, V. N. Solov'ev, and K. A. S. Tanajura

Numerical experiments with the coupled ocean—atmosphere COLA model (Maryland University, USA) are described. The purpose of these experiments is to develop and implement methods of model forecast of mean monthly sea surface temperature and to examine the model ability to simulate and predict the variability of ocean and atmospheric parameters on different space and time scales. Methods of constructing initial ocean fields for further forecasts are described, and the results of experiments are discussed.
