Abstract
The results of numerical experiments on the interaction between a tropical cyclone and the upper layer of the ocean are presented for various rates of displacement of the cyclone and various thicknesses of the mixed layer of the ocean. An axisymmetric twelve-level model of the cyclone and an integral model of the upper layer of the ocean are used in the calculations. The calculations show the significant effect of negative feedback between the cyclone and the ocean on the intensity of the moving cyclone. A decrease in the rate of displacement of the cyclone and in the initial thickness of the mixed layer leads to greater cooling of the water on the ocean surface and, consequently, to greater attenuation of the cyclone.
