2 Wind Evaporation SST (WES) Feedback L + T + Equator SST + WIND EVAPORATION H - T - Positive Feedback
3 Role of WES Feedback The WES feedback is featured in several hypotheses to explain the tropical mean climate and variability Asymmetric ITCZ about the equator (Xie, 2004) Westward seasonal propagation of equatorial SST anomalies (Xie, 1994) Tropical Atlantic variability ( Atlantic dipole ) (Chang et al., 1997) Equatorward propagation of high-latitude cooling (Chiang and Bitz, 2005)
4 In previous studies, the role of the WES feedback has usually been inferred from statistical analysis or using simple analytical models. Our approach: direct mechanistic tests
5 Mechanistic Experiments CCM3-SOM: T42 Spectral Resolution (2.8 x 2.8) 18 vertical levels SOM: spatially varying mixed layer depth but constant in time Prescribed sea-ice Q-flux adjustment + WIND SST EVAPORATION Control Run + WIND SST EVAPORATION WES off Run
6 Experimental Set-up Heat Flux Bulk Formulations: LH Flux = u*(q s - q*)b SH Flux = u*(t s -T*)D u* = reference height w ind speed q* = specific humidit y at reference height = specific humidity at surface q s T* = Temperat ure at reference height T s = Temperature at surface SST + WIND EVAPORATION B, D: Bulk Coefficient s WES off: Prescribe u* while computing Fluxes
7 Experimental Set-up Experiment Set 1: To understand the variability associated w ith WES feedback Control Run: 80 years WES-off-SOM Run: 80 years Experiment Set 2: To study the Equatorial Annual Cycle WES-off-N oan N Run: 40 years u* prescribed as annual mean, no seasonal cycle
8 WES Feedback and SST Variability Spring Season % Change in SST variance : Control run - WES off ANN Run (K 2 ) (mm/day) 2 % Change
9 Tropical Atlantic Variability CCM3-SOM WES-off-SOM
10 WES Feedback and SST Anomaly Propagation Strong seasonal cycle in the E.Pacific because of shallow mixed layer SST anomalies propagate westward Control Run Longitude SST Anomaly Longitude
11 Annual Cycle of SST and LHFLX SST Equatorial Pacific (2S-2N) LHFLX Control CCSM Run Workshop 2008 WES-off-SOM Run
12 Equatorward propagation of cold anomalies QuickTime and a TIFF (Uncompressed) decompressor are needed to see this picture. Chiang and Bitz (2005) Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) sea-ice anomalies Drier and colder higher and mid-latitudes Increased easterlies lead to evaporative cooling WES Feedback: SST front moves southwards and moves ITCZ southw ards Changes in surface temperature and precipitation as compared to a control run.
13 Experimental Set-up: Tropical Response to High Latitude Cooling Sea-ice extent January: Current conditions Experiment Set 4: Prescribe Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) sea-ice anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere: Control Run: CCM3-SOM- SICE WES-off Run: WES-off-SICE Sea-ice extent January: CCM3-SOM-SICE/ LGM
14 Surface Temperature Response to High Latitude Cooling Control Case WES-off Case
15 Tropical Response to High Latitude Cooling Control Case WES-off Case
16 SUMMARY Even though it is a boundary layer phenomenon, WES feedback can produce non-local (cross-equatorial) atmospheric response to SST anomalies Responsible for a significant portion of tropical Atlantic variability, and a smaller portion of tropical Pacific variability Controls the westward propagation of annual cycle of equatorial SST Plays a role in shifting ITCZ under LGM sea-ice conditions, but less so than originally proposed In addition to surface windspeed, near surface humidity is also a very important factor in controlling tropical variability.
17 Introduction: WES Feedback Thermodynamic air-sea coupling Weaker than dynamic coupling (Bjerknes feedback) Boundary layer phenomenon Non-local effects

26 Introduction: Roles of the WES Feedback 4. Atlantic response to EN SO Large scale impacts of ENSO on vertical motions (Klein et al., 1999) Correlation between Atlantic SST and Nino3 index in spring (Saravanan and Chang, 2000) Correlation between ENSO index and upper tropospheric humidity, cloud cover (ISCCP) and insolation (ERBE) (Klein et al., 1999)
27 WES Feedback Traditional Approach: Stand-alone AGCM or OGCM Coupled Model Enhanced variability of the coupled model indicates feedback mechanisms. Our Approach: WES-off-Experiments: CCM3 coupled to a Slab Ocean Model (SOM) Switch off the WES feedback Comparison would reveal its role
