Assessing Hurricane Intensity Using Satellites
Tropical cyclones spend most of their life cycle over the tropical and subtropical oceans. Because of the lack of in situ data in these regions, satellite observations are fundamental for tracking and estimating the intensity of these storms for real-time forecasting and monitoring climate trends. This chapter reviews methods for estimating tropical cyclone intensity from satellites, including ...
متن کاملHurricane intensity and eyewall replacement.
Observations made during the historic 2005 hurricane season document a case of "eyewall replacement." Clouds outside the hurricane eyewall coalesce to form a new eyewall at a greater radius from the storm center, and the old eyewall dies. The winds in the new eyewall are initially weaker than those in the original eyewall, but as the new eyewall contracts, the storm reintensifies. Understanding...
متن کاملImpacts of Turbulence on Hurricane Intensity
Because of the multi-scale nature of hurricanes, the proposed large-eddy simulation work is also a challenging computational problem. A three-dimensional research cloud model (CM1) with horizontal grid stretching capability is used to conduct convergence test. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used as a weather-prediction model to examine the eddy-diffusion coefficients obtain...
متن کاملDynamical Studies in Hurricane Intensity Change
The long-term goals and objectives of this research are to develop a more complete physical understanding of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change processes. This year’s work focused on the following three areas: Determining the three-dimensional asymmetric dynamics of the TC core region; Testing hurricane maximum intensity theory; Analyzing the environmental influences on the intensification ...
متن کاملGlobal warming and hurricane intensity and frequency: The debate continues
The recent destruction due to hurricanes and the apparent increase in frequency in the southeastern United States, especially in 2005 season, has prompted many scientists to study possible causes of these changes. Some scientists believe that global warming and increased sea surface temperatures are to blame. Warm water holds more energy to fuel hurricanes and may contribute to the conditions n...
