Convection and Shear Flow in TC Development and Intensification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objectives are: (1) to study the convection and vorticity generations in the vortex environment that may lead to the development and intensification of tropical cyclone; (2) to study the development and evolution of deep moist mesoscale convective system subject to strain effect due to the horizontal shear associated with the vortex rotation, and the possible offsetting with the convection and vorticity generation; and (3) to study nonlinear interactions that may lead to additional strain effects that may impact on the convection.

Interaction between a Midlatitude Upper-level Trough and Tropical Cyclone Dora (2007) over the Southwest Indian Ocean
A question remains among the scientific community in the context of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity prediction: will an approaching upper-tropospheric synoptic-scale trough produce intensification or decay of a given TC? Many observational studies and numerical modeling have documented TC-trough interaction. Hanley et al. (2001) introduced the “good trough/bad trough” terminology to sort trough...
متن کاملUnsteady free convection flow between two vertical plates with variable temperature and mass diffusion
The unsteady free convection flow between two long vertical parallel plates withvariable temperature and mass diffusion in the presence of the thermal radiation hasbeen presented. The governing dimensionless coupled linear partial differentialequations on the flow are solved by using the Laplace transform technique. TheExact solutions have been obtained for the fluid velocity, temperature and t...
متن کاملA Ventilation Index for Tropical Cyclones
A number of environmental factors control both tropical cyclogenesis and tropical cyclone (TC) intensity, contributing to the challenge of TC prediction. Among these environmental controls is the interaction of TCs with environmental vertical wind shear. Since environmental vertical wind shear is always present in varying amounts during the life of any TC, it is important to understand how wind...
متن کاملNumerical Study of Natural Convection in an Inclined Cavity with Partially Active Side Walls Filled with Cu-water Nanofluid
The buoyancy-driven fluid flow and heat transfer in a square cavity with partially active side walls filled with Cu-water nanofluid is investigated numerically. The active parts of the left and the right side-walls of the cavity are maintained at temperatures Th and Tc, respectively, with Th>Tc. The enclosure’s top and bottom walls, as well as, the inactive parts of its side walls are kept insu...
متن کاملRelationships between total lightning, deep convection, and tropical cyclone intensity change
This study investigates the characteristics of total lightning in the inner core (INCO, 0–100 km) and outer rainband (OB, 200–400 km) of tropical cyclones (TC). Relationships between flash density (FLD), convective intensity, and TC intensity change are further examined. FLD shows a bimodal structure with a strong maximum in the eyewall (INCO, 0–50 km) and a secondary maximum in the OB. FLD max...
