The storm-induced wind shear during Storm 1 and its impact on ocean surface currents (a) The instantaneous wind field during Storm 1 under the current climate is visualized over the computational domain. This figure shows a snapshot of the progression of the storm when it is building up from a distance east to the atoll. (b, c) The propagation of the instantaneous wind field during Storm 1 under the current climate at selected time windows (snapshots) when it travels close to the Atoll (e–g) The corresponding variation of ocean surface currents induced by the winds shear during Storm 1 progress under the current climate.
