Rapidly Intensifying Hurricane Guillermo (1997). Part II: Resilience in Shear

Determining Key Model Parameters of Rapidly Intensifying Hurricane Guillermo(1997) using the Ensemble Kalman Filter

7 In this work we determine key model parameters for rapidly intensifying Hurricane Guillermo 8 (1997) using the Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF). The approach is to utilize the EnKF as 9 a tool to only estimate the parameter values of the model for a particular data set. The 10 assimilation is performed using dual-Doppler radar observations obtained during the period 11 of rapid intensification o...

Informetric distributions, part II: Resilience to ambiguity

This article continues the discussion of the informetric distributions begun in a companion paper. In the earlier paper, the informetric distributions were introduced and found to be variants of a single distribution. It was suggested that this might be explained in terms of that distribution being unusually resilient to ambiguity. In this paper the notion of resilience to ambiguity is made pre...

Effects Of Cumulus Convection On Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones

Our objectives are a) To describe the detailed structure of the air flow in a mature hurricane, b) To understand the vertical force balance in the eye and the eyewall, c) To investigate the presence of supergradient flow in hurricanes and the underlying processes, d) To study the surface wind structures during landfall, e) To investigate the transformation of a cold-core continental mesovortex ...

Quantifying Human Mobility Perturbation and Resilience in Hurricane Sandy

Human mobility is influenced by environmental change and natural disasters. Researchers have used trip distance distribution, radius of gyration of movements, and individuals' visited locations to understand and capture human mobility patterns and trajectories. However, our knowledge of human movements during natural disasters is limited owing to both a lack of empirical data and the low precis...
