Tropical sea surface temperature, vertical wind shear, and hurricane development
[1] The anomalously strong hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector during the recent years led to a controversy about the impact of global warming on hurricane activity in the Atlantic sector. Here we show that the temperature difference between the tropical North Atlantic and the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans (IndoPacific) is a key parameter in controlling the vertical wind shear over t...
متن کاملThe Dependence of Numerically Simulated Cyclic Mesocyclogenesis upon Environmental Vertical Wind Shear
Building upon the authors’ previous work that examined the dynamics of numerically simulated cyclic mesocyclogenesis and its dependence upon model physical and computational parameters, this study likewise uses idealized numerical simulations to investigate associated dependencies upon ambient vertical wind shear. Specifically, the authors examine variations in hodograph shape, shear magnitude,...
متن کاملInvestigation of Vertical Wind Shear Characteristics Using 50m Meteorological Tower Data
Wind measurement is important for estimating wind energy potential, but it is relatively cost-intensive and often conducted at a narrow height from the ground level. The typical range of most turbine hub heights is from 30-50 m or even higher. Extrapolation on wind data thus becomes necessary to estimate the wind speed at different heights. Doing so requires the essential understanding of wind ...
متن کاملThe Mutual Variation of Wind , Shear , and Baroclinicity in the Cumulus Convective Atmosphere of the Hurricane
The enhanced cumulus convection in tropical disturbances acts in two opposing ways. In one sense the condensation heat from the cumulus acts to warm the inner portions of the disturbance and induce vertical shear of the horizontal wind through the thermal wind relationship. In the opposite sense the cumulus also act to suppress vertical wind shear by transfer of horizontal momentum within their...
متن کاملWind Shear Detection with Airport Surveillance Radars
Airport surveillance radars (ASR) utilize a broad, cosecant-squared elevation beam pattern, rapid azimuthal antenna scanning, and coherent pulsed-Doppler processing to detect. and track approaching and departing aircraft. These radars, because of location, rapid scan rate, and direct air traffic control (ATe) data link, can also provide flight controllers with timely information on weather cond...
