Integrations to National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Community Climate Model (CCM3), separately forced by observed weekly SSTs with and without diurnal cycle of SST, are compared. Surface observation obtained from the Improved Meteorology (IMET) buoy during TOGA COARE Intensive Observation Period is applied to verify the SST parameterization, as well as a validation to the results from the CCM3 simulation. It is shown that the superposition of diurnal cycle of SST to the forced weekly SST makes a more realistic representation of the surface structure of intraseasonal oscillation over the western Pacific warm pool.展开更多
