This process of the warm ocean waters heating up the air just above the surface within tropical cyclones is known as Wind-Induced Surface Heat Exchange, or WISHE.

The WISHE mechanism was proposed by Kerry Emanuel in a Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences article published in 1986 – though it was first termed "air–sea interaction instability" – …

Clearly in at least some real-world cases in which the tropical cyclone is influenced by external factors—for example, vertical shear of the environmental wind—the WISHE feedback is …

Basic air-sea interaction feedback loop: Increase in surface wind speed => Increase in surface moisture transfer from the sea surface => Increase in “fuel supply” to the storm => Increasing …

Wind Induced Surface Heat Exchange (WISHE) mechanism is considered very important for tropical cyclone intensification in a large part of the scientific literature ( [1], [2], [3] ): heat flux …

Jun 1, 2022 · These models help to understand the differences between the early Ooyama models of 1968 and 1969, the Emanuel, 1989 model, and the later Emanuel models of 1995, …

The noWISHE run showed no cyclogenesis at all, with maximum wind speed never even reach-ing the 17 ms−1 threshold of tropical storms, proving the crucial importance of WISHE …

Through a series of convection-permitting high-resolution ensemble simulations with the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model for both idealized and real-world tropical cyclones, this …

The second objective of this paper is to carry out new numerical experiments using a state-of-the-art numerical model to test a recent hypothesis invoking the WISHE feedback mechanism …

The WISHE process highlights the positive feedback between the sea surface heat fluxes and the surface wind during TC intensification. For WISHE to occur and persist, the presence of an …
