1. Introduction 3. Results: Time-Longitude Structure of Environmental Memory

Overview

Analysis of composited large-scale atmospheric and SST memory of TC passage using time-longitude plots

Motivation

•  Tropical cyclones (TCs) reduce sea surface temperatures (SSTs), on average, for over a month following TC passage (Fig. 1; Hart et al. 2007)

•  TCs may dry and cool atmosphere for weeks following TC passage due to reduced SSTs (Sobel and Camargo 2005) although uncertainties remain in atmospheric memory of TCs

•  Greater understanding of atmospheric TC memory may help refine potential role of TCs in climate

Objectives

1.  Quantify atmospheric environmental memory of TC passage

2.  Identify salient processes and phenomena responsible for generation of atmospheric environmental memory

Fig. 4: Time-longitude plot of composited (a) vertically-integrated surface to 100-hPa MSE anomalies (106 J m-2), (b) SST anomalies (K), and (c) 850-hPa meridional wind anomalies (m s-1) meridionally-averaged from 250 km south and north of TC passage. TC and W1–W6 labels denote TC and westward propagating MSE and meridional wind anomalies. Anomalies are shown if they are statistically significantly different from zero at the 95% confidence interval. Black arrow depicts group velocity direction for westward propagating anomalies.

§  Subset of TCs, likely large TCs, induce negative MSE anomalies and trigger Rossby waves following TC passage (Fig. 7a)

§  Large TCs induce negative MSE anomalies due to:

1.  Excitation of broad region of negative SST anomalies reducing surface fluxes into atmosphere

2.  Northerly advection of lower MSE into tropics due to Rossby waves dispersed by TCs

§  Subset of TCs, likely small TCs, do not induce significant MSE anomalies and do not trigger Rossby waves following TC passage (Fig. 7b)

§  Results suggest initial atmospheric state during TC passage determines strength of environmental TC memory by influencing both Rossby wave dispersion from TC and TC size
