Explicit Modeling of the Inner-Core Cloud and Flow Structures of Hurricanes
نویسنده
چکیده
(i) Develop a three-dimensional hurricane-vortex initialization scheme using the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU) data, radar, QuickSCAT, and other in situ and remote sensing observations; (ii) improve the formulations of cloud microphysics, boundary-layer physics and air-sea interactive processes in hurricane models; (iii) study the larger-scale environments that are favorable for, and the processes leading to tropical cyclogenesis; and (iv) examine the roles of vortex-Rossby waves and gravity waves in the hurricane intensity change and in the formation of spiral rainbands.

A Multiscale Numerical Study of Hurricane Andrew (1992). Part I: Explicit Simulation and Verification
In this study, the inner-core structures of Hurricane Andrew (1992) are explicitly simulated using an improved version of the Penn State–NCAR nonhydrostatic, two-way interactive, movable, triply nested grid mesoscale model (MM5). A modified Betts–Miller cumulus parameterization scheme and an explicit microphysics scheme were used simultaneously to simulate the evolution of the larger-scale flow...
متن کاملBlast Mitigation Analysis of Semi-Buried Structure
Semi-buried structures are most commonly used at first line of defense along the border between two countries. This demands investigation of their dynamic behaviour under blast loading. Herein, a semi-buried structure with foam sandwiched walls and buttresses to reduce the effect of blast is analysed. The effect of provision of different configurations of buttresses and foam core between two la...
متن کاملPolarity and energetics of inner core lightning in three intense North Atlantic hurricanes
[1] We use the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN), low‐frequency magnetic fields measured at Duke University, and storm intensity data (winds and central pressure) to examine the polarity and energetics of lightning within 100 km of the centers (inner core regions) of North Atlantic hurricanes Emily, Katrina, and Rita (2005). WWLLN provides the lightning locations. Polarities, peak c...

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 ...
متن کاملA Multiscale Numerical Study of Hurricane Andrew (1992). Part II: Kinematics and Inner-Core Structures
Despite considerable research, understanding of the temporal evolution of the inner-core structures of hurricanes is very limited owing to the lack of continuous high-resolution observational data of a storm. In this study, the results of a 72-h explicit simulation of Hurricane Andrew (1992) with a grid size of 6 km are examined to explore the inner-core axisymmetric and asymmetric structures o...
