Scientific paper

The northern Red Sea evaporation is among the highest in the tropics. While traditionally explained in terms of subsidence associated with large scale, slowly varying, planetary waves, the subsidence magnitude consistent with this explanation fails to (1)close the buoyancy budget; and (2) explain the exceptionally high observed evaporation. I will present a simple, novel nonlinear numerical model of land--atmosphere--ocean interactions on an f-plane akin to the Northern Red Sea. With realistic parameter choices, the model yields adequate subsidence and is able to both close the buoyancy budget and explain the observed evaporation. I will conclude by some speculative remarks about possible changes under anthropogenic radiative forcing.
