چکیده

The HRD real-time wind analysis system is currently undergoing evaluation in the operational forecasting environment of the National Hurricane Center. The system is an object-oriented, distributed, three-tiered client—server application that assimilates disparate observations and processes the data into a common framework for exposure, height and averaging time. The data are then examined collectively or by type, quality controlled and passed on to a scale-controlled objective analysis algorithm. Several products are derived from the analysis wind field and storm track, yielding effective tools for disaster assessment, emergency management, and recovery. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

Estimate of Hurricane Wind Speed from AMSR-E Low-Frequency Channel Brightness Temperature Data

Two new parameters (W6H and W6V) were defined that represent brightness temperature increments for different low-frequency channels due to ocean wind. We developed a new wind speed retrieval model inside hurricanes based on W6H and W6V using brightness temperature data from AMSR-E. The AMSR-E observations of 12 category 3–5 hurricanes from 2003 to 2011 and corresponding data from the H*wind ana...

Seawinds Improved Ocean Vector Wind Retrievals in Hurricanes

The most pressing issue for the Ku-band scatterometer is associated with the measurement of ocean surface winds in tropical cyclones in the presence of precipitation, which can significantly degrade the wind vector retrieval. Furthermore, at high wind speeds (> 32 m/s), the measurements suffer from radar backscatter saturation effects. Since the spatial resolution of satellite scatterometer and...

QuikSCAT geophysical model function for tropical cyclones and application to Hurricane Floyd

The QuikSCAT radar measurements of several tropical cyclones in 1999 have been studied to develop the geophysical model function (GMF) of Ku-band radar 0s for extreme high wind conditions. To account for the effects of precipitation, we analyze the co-located rain rates from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and propose the rain rate as a parameter of the GMF. The analysis indicates t...

Developing ‘First-Guess’ Wind Fields For Tropical Cyclone Analyses In H*Wind

A theoretical wind profile algorithm is implemented into a hurricane wind analysis tool to improve a 2-dimensional objective wind analysis. Validation of hurricane surface wind speeds from remote sensing technology has been difficult due to a lack of sufficient storm data needed for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Hurricane Research Division Real Time Hurricane Wind Analysis...

Jp1.5 a Demonstration of Real-time Transmission and Display of Goes Imagery aboard the Noaa P-3 Aircraft during the 2002 Hurricane Season

NOAA’s two WP-3 aircraft are the primary tools for the annual hurricane field program of the Hurricane Research Division (HRD). The WP-3 aircraft are also used for operational reconnaissance missions to supplement the flights of the U.S. Air Force Reserve, which operates out of Kessler Air Force Base in Mississippi. During the hurricane offseason, the WP-3 aircraft are used for many other atmos...
