Abstract:

Based on revealing the discipline identification issue of marine meteorology and its impact, it is clarified that marine meteorology should be ascribed to atmospheric science rather than marine science for the sake of its smooth development through synthetically analyzing the connotations and extensions of relevant disciplines.The key to this clarification is to understand the multi-scale characteristics of air-sea interaction.Future development of marine meteorology highly relies on high-tech detecting techniques over the sea, synthetic applications of in-situ and remote sensing observations, meso-micro-scale air-sea interaction theory, and multi-level sea-atmosphere coupling models, thereby research on smaller scale air-sea interaction should be intensified.The analysis results are expected to provide references for research, education, service, and administration personnel in atmospheric and marine sciences.

Key words: Marine meteorology, Applied meteorology, Discipline identification, Air-sea interaction, Synthetic analysis, Multi-scale
