A breakthrough in the two-way coupling within a wave-current-atmosphere system
The Wave-Current-Atmosphere (WCA) system in the upper ocean is an air-sea interface that drives the physical, chemical, and biological processes crucial to our global climate and environment. Observations and simulations over the last two decades have revolutionized our picture of the roles of small-scale wave processes in the large-scale oceanic circulations controlled by the WCA system, offering a promising direction to correcting long-standing biases and errors in key indicators in climate models, such as sea surface temperature and the mixed depth of vertical mixing. The key to correcting such biases and errors is to physically resolve the surface waves processes in the WCA system.…
