Abstract

In this paper, marine meteorological and oceanic characteristics of Persian Gulf and Oman Sea were simulated using coupled numerical weather prediction model WRF and numerical oceanic model ROMS. At first, WRF model was operated over the sea and its results were analyzed and verified, and then numerical model ROMS operated and assessed on the sea by considering meteorological forcing. The major phenomena for analyzing WRF model was Indian Ocean summer Monsoon. For the model ROMS, transferring seawater form Indian Ocean to Oman Sea and Persian Gulf was studied. Oceanic numerical model was operated for a 7 years period and its results were compared by satellite images. The results show that considering interaction of atmosphere and ocean (by coupling) lead to more real results.
