SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON TROPICAL CYCLONES Topic 1.1 : Environmental Effects on Tropical Cyclone Structure and Structure Change
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent research to increase understanding, and techniques to improve forecasts, of the structure and structural changes of a tropical cyclone due to interaction with the environment are summarized. The atmospheric environment is considered here, and the oceanic, and air-sea interface environments are summarized in Topic 1.3. Progress in understanding how a tropical cyclone interacts with its environment, and in developing techniques to forecast tropical cyclone intensityand structure-change events, has been made over the past few years. Whereas any increase in skillful forecasts due to these research and techniques may take some years to develop, it is felt that improvement in tropical cyclone intensity forecasts is likely, due in part to the work described here.

SIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on TROPICAL CYCLONES Topic 4.2 : Possible Relationships Between Climate Change and Tropical Cyclone Activity Rapporteur:
This report reviews the current science on possible relationships between climate change and tropical cyclone (TC) activity/intensity on different time scales. Since variability of tropical cyclone activity/intensity on intraseasonal, interannual, interdecadal and multi-decadal scales is a topic addressed separately in another section of this report (Subtopic 4.1), the emphasis of this chapter ...

متن کاملSIXTH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on TROPICAL CYCLONES Topic 4.1 : Variability of Tropical Cyclone Activity/Intensity on Intraseasonal and Interannual Scales
Topic 4.1 reviews the current status of the understanding on variability of tropical cyclone (TC) activity/intensity on intraseasonal to interannual time scales around the globe. Annually, approximately 80−90 TCs occur over the tropical oceans (Neumann 1993). The TC activities depend on thermodynamic parameters (e.g., sea surface temperature (SST), atmospheric stability, and mid-tropospheric mo...
متن کاملEvolution of Tropical Cyclone Characteristics
The long-term goals are to understand how variabilities in the large-scale atmospheric environment and the internal tropical cyclone structure influence tropical cyclone track and intensity characteristics and define how these influences differ between developing, mature, and decaying tropical cyclones. During the initial stages of tropical cyclone development, structure and track characteristi...

This report summarizes work completed since ITWC-V that contributes to an improved understanding of the internal influences on tropical cyclone (TC) formation. The report argues the importance of low-level vorticity enhancement during TC genesis due to convergence in convective regions, both on the individual convective element scale and on the system scale. It is argued that large-scale proces...
