THE STOCHASTIC-DYNAMIC THEORY OF AIR-SEA INTERACTION

The air-sea interaction is a key problem in long-range forecast and dynamic climatology. This paper presents a simple model of SST variability in which the interaction between SST and atmospheric motion is briefly studied.The model is formulated by second order linear differential equation describing the evolution of the SST is stochastically forced by the white noise represnting day to day weather fluctuations. This result demonstrates that the stochastic forcing of SST is important if strong positive feedback between SST and atmospheric motion exists.The theoretical distribution of spectrum of SST is more improved than that of the first order Markovian model of Froukignoul.These results are in well agreement with the observations.
