Impact of Typhoons on the Pacific Ocean August 2010- East of Taiwan

This study aims to characterize and predict the ocean impact of typhoons in the Western Pacific, focusing on the processes governing their interaction with the ocean and their feedback to the atmosphere. The study involves international participants from Taiwan, Japan, the Philippines, and Europe, as well as various US organizations.

  1. ITOP: Impact of Typhoons on the Pacific Ocean August 2010- East of Taiwan Emphasis on Western Pacific Dr. Linwood Vincent* Dr.Terri Paluszkiewicz, Dr.Ron Ferek, Dr. Dan Eleuterio Director*, Ocean, Atmosphere and Space Research Division Ocean Battlespace Sensing Department Office of Naval Research Arlington , VA 22203 Email: Linwood.Vincent@Navy.mil Phone: 703 696 4120

  2. GOALS: Significantly improve the ability (1) to characterize and predict ocean impact of typhoons in Westpac and (2) improve typhoon prediction Basic science objective: Understand processes governing how a typhoon interacts with the ocean structure, the feedbacks to the atmosphere and storm intensity focussing on the Western Pacific. Typhoons Impact Upper Ocean Thermal Structure Six Months/Year Numbers of Typhoons Per Year X Each Storm Has A 1-2 week impact on Ocean Thermal Structure Major Potential Impact On Mixed Layer Depth

  7. THANK YOU ORGANIZATIONS PROVIDING SIGNIFICANT SUPPORT TO ITOP

  8. Very Special Thanks To Air Force The 53rd WRS provided help and encouragement, in the planning process, helped secure Air Force support when it became clear the Air Force could not accept Navy funding, and then conducted the Experiment in their highly professional manner, as usual.
