Abstract

Some aspects of coupling between ocean model sbPOM, wave model CARIBWAM and atmospheric model WRF for the major part of the Caribbean are presented. The coupling consists of energy exchange through heat, sea-surface stress and solar radiation on the sea surface, wave breaking, providing turbulence in the upper-ocean layer for the hydrodynamic model, roughness parameter taken for WRF with stratification of the near-surface layer and sea-surface temperature for the atmospheric model. These are the basis of the integral system of oceanic and atmospheric forecasting (SPOA) of the General Maritime Directorate (DIMAR). The system includes oil spill and Search & Rescue prediction for Colombian Caribbean as well as for its Pacific coast.
