| Zusammenfassung |
| Sea surface temperature (SST) is an important property for governing
the exchange of energy between the ocean and the atmosphere. Common in
situ methods of measuring SST often require a cool-skin and warm-layer
adjustment in the presence of diurnal warming effects. A critical
requirement for an ocean submodel is that it can simulate the change
in SST over diurnal, seasonal and annual cycles. In this paper we use
high-resolution near-surface profiles of SST to validate simulated
near-surface temperature profiles from a modified version of the
Kantha and Clayson 1-D mixed-layer model. Additional model
enhancements such as the incorporation of a more recent
parameterization of turbulence generated by wave breaking and a recent
solar absorption model are also validated. The model simulations show
a strong variability in highly stratified conditions, with different
models providing the best results depending on the specific criteria
and conditions. In general, the models with enhanced wave breaking
effects provided underestimated temperature profiles while the more
coarse baseline and blended approaches produced the most accurate SST
estimates. |
