Numerical Experiments with a Slowly Varying Mode of the Tropical Cyclone
نویسنده
چکیده
Additional experiments with the slowly varying axisymmetric hurricane model described by Anthes are presented. Variable horizontal eddy viscosity coefficients are utilized to study circulations that result from an increased heating function and a heating function with a double maximum along the radial direction. Infrared radiative cooling is modeled for the clear tropical atmosphere following Sasamori. A representative cooling rate is used to study the effect of cooling in the hurricane environment on the dynamics and energetics of the slowly varying tropical cyclone.

A Numerical Model of the Slowly Varying Tropical Cyclone in Isentropic Coordinates
A diagnostic axisymmetric model in isentropic coordinates is developed to study the effect of differential heating on the dynamics and energetics of the steady-state tropical cyclone. From the thermal forcing specified by various heating distributions, slowly varying solutions for the mass and momentum fields are obtained by an iterative technique. The theory of available potential energy for o...
متن کاملPutting to rest WISHE-ful misconceptions for tropical cyclone intensification
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to point out and correct several misconceptions about the putative WISHE mechanism of tropical cyclone intensification that currently are being taught to atmospheric science students, to tropical weather forecasters, and to laypeople who seek to understand how tropical cyclones intensify. The mechanism relates to the simplest problem of an in...

Severe Tropical Cyclones associated with surges frequently hits the coastal region of Bangladesh. For a reliable hydrodynamic model to simulate the severity of such cyclones, it is necessary to incorporate the meteorological and hydrological inputs properly. In order to incorporate the coastlines and the island boundaries properly in the numerical scheme a very fine grid resolution along the co...

The tropical cyclone-ocean interaction was investigated using a high-r(~solution tropical cyclone ocean coupled model. The model design consisted of the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory tropical cyclone prediction model which was coupled with a multilayer primitive equation ocean model. Coupling between the hurricane and the ocean models was carried out by passing into the ocean model...
متن کاملImplications of the Observed Relationship between Tropical Cyclone Size and Intensity over the Western North Pacific
Tropical cyclone (TC) size, usually measured with the radius of gale force wind (34 kt or 17m s), is an important parameter for estimating TC risks such as wind damage, rainfall distribution, and storm surge. Previous studies have reported that there is a very weak relationship between TC size and TC intensity. A close examination presented here using satellite-based wind analyses suggests that...
