Sensitivity of Tropical Cyclone Intensity to Ventilation in an Axisymmetric Model
The sensitivity of tropical cyclone intensity to ventilation of cooler, drier air into the inner core is examined using an axisymmetric tropical cyclone model with parameterized ventilation. Sufficiently strong ventilation induces cooling of the upper-level warm core, a shift in the secondary circulation radially outward, and a decrease in the simulated intensity. Increasing the strength of the...
متن کاملTropical Cyclone Intensity and Structure Changes in relation to Tropical Cyclone Outflow
The overarching objective of this project is to identify impacts to tropical cyclone structure and intensity throughout the tropical cyclone lifetime. A common factor is the impact of midand upperlevel environmental conditions that affects formation and intensification of a tropical cyclone. It is hypothesized that during the formation process, the environmental interaction has maximum impact o...
متن کاملSensitivity of an Ocean-Atmosphere Coupled Model to the Coupling Method : Study of Tropical Cyclone Erica
In this paper, the sensitivity of Atmospheric and Oceanic Coupled Models (AOCMs) to the associated coupling method is investigated. We propose the adaptation of a Schwarzlike domain decomposition method to AOCMs. We show that this kind of iterative process ensures a good consistency of the coupled solution across the air-sea interface, while usual ad-hoc algorithmic approaches do not properly s...
متن کاملUpper-Tropospheric Low Richardson Number in Tropical Cyclones: Sensitivity to Cyclone Intensity and the Diurnal Cycle
High-vertical-resolution rawinsondes were used to document the existence of low–bulk Richardson number (Rb) layers in tropical cyclones. The largest frequency of low Rb existed in the inner 200 km at the 13.5-km level. This peak extended more than 1000 km from the storm center and sloped downward with radius. The presence of an extensive upper-tropospheric low-Rb layer supports the assumption o...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of Dvorak Technique–Based Tropical Cyclone Intensity Estimates
The satellite-based Dvorak technique (DVKT) is the most widely available and readily used tool for operationally estimating the maximum wind speeds associated with tropical cyclones. The DVKT itself produces internally consistent results, is reproducible, and has shown practical accuracy given the high cost of in situ or airborne observations. For these reasons, the DVKT has been used in a reas...
