Reexamination of Tropical Cyclone Wind–Pressure Relationships
Tropical cyclone wind–pressure relationships are reexamined using 15 yr of minimum sea level pressure estimates, numerical analysis fields, and best-track intensities. Minimum sea level pressure is estimated from aircraft reconnaissance or measured from dropwindsondes, and maximum wind speeds are interpolated from best-track maximum 1-min wind speed estimates. The aircraft data were collected p...
متن کاملAn environmentally forced tropical cyclone hazard model
A physics-based statistical stochastic system is developed for estimating the long-term hazard of rare, high impact landfall events globally from ensembles of synthetic tropical cyclones. There are three components representing the complete storm lifetime: an index-based genesis model, a beta-advection track model and an autoregressive intensity model. All three components depend upon the local...
متن کاملTropical Cyclone Wind Estimation Using Synthetic Aperture Radar
We have investigated various SAR images of tropical cyclones, which were acquired by the SAR aboard the satellites ENVISAT and RADARSAT-1 at different polarizations and incidence angles, using a similar approach as suggested by Horstmann et al., 2005 [1]. The resulting SAR-retrieved wind fields are compared to results of high-resolution numerical models as well as in situ measurements collected...
متن کاملUpper Ocean Response to Tropical Cyclone Wind Asymmetries
The most apparent effect of a tropical cyclone on the upper ocean is the marked cooling of sea surface temperature (SST) that is clearly seen in Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) images of SST. As a storm intensifies, the increasing wind speed may increase evaporation and supply the storm with the necessary source of heat for further intensification. However, the significant SST ...
متن کاملA Minimal Three-Dimensional Tropical Cyclone Model
A minimal 3D numerical model designed for basic studies of tropical cyclone behavior is described. The model is formulated in s coordinates on an f or b plane and has three vertical levels, one characterizing a shallow boundary layer and the other two representing the upper and lower troposphere, respectively. It has three options for treating cumulus convection on the subgrid scale and a simpl...
