9 Result from previous studies and the goal of this study Previous studies considered either SST or Uo in τ formulation in ocean-only models and saw weakened eddy variability. JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY uncoupled SST SST-τ coupled SST C05023 VOLUME 39 SST-τ coupling: Jin et al. (2009) FIG. 4. SST distribution on day 60: (left) uncoupled and (right) coupled. d from measurements that the summer-mean hore wind stress over the shelf off Bodega Bay, rnia, decreases from 0.14 N m22 at 25 km offshore N m22 at 2 km. Perlin et al. (2007) found that the tress decreases from 0.14 to N m22 near the after 72 h in a coupled mesoscale atmosphere model. The mechanism for the broad nearshore of strong wind stress curl in the CCS resulting ST wind coupling was hypothesized by Chelton 2007a). sensitivity experiments that double and halve the cal coupling coefficients show modest impacts on nd stress changes (Fig. 7), although the SST changes ger. Thus, the overall effect of the coupling is on day 60 (Fig. 4) where the fluctuations are at an earlier phase in their unstable development. In addition, in the equilibrium phase (days ), the energy is smaller because of the coupling. The mean stratification and circulation (Figs. 5, 6) show coupling influences through a weaker thermocline tilt resulting from weaker nearshore wind stress. They have an increased poleward transport, especially in the undercurrent, which is consistent with increased coastal wind stress curl and Sverdrup balance. The Ekman circulation in the zonal plane has weaker upwelling right at the boundary with stronger upwelling offshore (Fig. 8). In the faroffshore region away from the upwelling circulation and eddies, the zonal transport in the surface layer approaches EDEN AND DIETZE: EFFECTS OF EDDY/WIND INT uncoupled EKE Uo-τ coupled EKE Figure kinetic energy the upper 50 m) in 20 Uo3.-τ Eddy coupling: Eden(EKE) and (average Dietzeof(2009) (a) the reference experiment, (b) WINDFEED, and (c) difference (WIND in cm2 s&2.

23 Summary Examined the relative importance of τsst vs τcur in EKE and Ekman pumping velocity in the CCS using a regional coupled model. Surface EKE is weakened almost entirely due to mesoscale current. - SST has no impact. EKE budget: enhanced eddy drag and reduced wind work. WSST reflects the crosswind SST gradient, while Wζ surface vorticity - Associated patterns of change imply different feedback processes. - Further investigation on the mechanisms for feedback is underway.
