Numerical Experiment for Typhoon and Ocean Interaction by MITgcm-MM5 Coupling Model

Typhoon-Ocean Interaction: The Ocean Response to Typhoons, and Its Feedback to Typhoon Intensity – Synergy of Observations and Model Simulations

Stiffeners Mechanical Effect Analysis by Numerical Coupling

Given any structure, we seek to find the solution of mechanical problem as precisely and efficiently as possible. Within this condition, the BEM is robust and promising development, standing out in the analysis of cases with occurrence of large stress gradients, as in problems of fracture mechanics. Moreover, in BEM the modeling of infinite means is performed naturally, without the use of appro...

Coupling a distributed grid based hydrological model and MM5 meteorological model for flooding alert mapping

The increased number of extreme rainfall events seems to be one of the common feature of climate change signal all over the world (Easterlin et al., 2000; Meehl et al., 2000). In the last few years a large number of floods caused by extreme meteorological events has been observed over the river basins of Mediterranean area and they mainly affected small basins (few hundreds until few thousands ...

Northwestern Pacific typhoon intensity controlled by changes in ocean temperatures

Dominant climatic factors controlling the lifetime peak intensity of typhoons are determined from six decades of Pacific typhoon data. We find that upper ocean temperatures in the low-latitude northwestern Pacific (LLNWP) and sea surface temperatures in the central equatorial Pacific control the seasonal average lifetime peak intensity by setting the rate and duration of typhoon intensification...

Elevated PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in Europe: a model experiment with MM5-CMAQ and WRF-CHEM

We have applied the MM5-CMAQ model to simulate the high concentrations in PM10 and PM2.5 during a winter episode (2003) in Central Europe. The selected period is January 15 – April 6 2003. Values of daily mean concentrations up to 75 μgm are found on average of several monitoring stations in Northern Germany. This model evaluation shows that there is an increasing underestimation of primary and...
