Vortex Rossby Waves and Hurricane Evolution in the Presence of Convection and Potential Vorticity and Hurricane Motion
نویسنده
چکیده
a) The first purpose of this study is to elucidate the physical mechanisms underlying changes in hurricane structure and intensity, including rapid deepening and eyewall replacement cycles. Specifically, the role of cumulus convection and the atmospheric boundary layer in the evolution of outward-propagating Rossby wave disturbances and their interactions with a developing hurricane is being investigated.

متن کاملAn Axisymmetric View of Concentric Eyewall Evolution in Hurricane
Multiplatform observations of Hurricane Rita (2005) were collected as part of the Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX) field campaign during a concentric eyewall stage of the storm’s life cycle that occurred during 21–22 September. Satellite, aircraft, dropwindsonde, and Doppler radar data are used here to examine the symmetric evolution of the hurricane as it underwent e...

متن کاملWaves in a Cloudy Vortex
This paper derives a system of equations that approximately govern small-amplitude perturbations in a nonprecipitating cloudy vortex. The cloud coverage can be partial or complete. The model is used to examine moist vortex Rossby wave dynamics analytically and computationally. One example shows that clouds can slow the growth of phase-locked counter-propagating vortex Rossby waves in the eyewal...
متن کاملAgradient velocity and balanced vortical motion by Georgi
A new approach to consider balance dynamics for modelling slow vortical motion is suggested within the rotating shallow water primitive equations. Instead of a traditional approach using divergence and ageostrophic vorticity as fast variables, the velocity is exactly expressed as a sum of the gradient part, described by a Bernoulli function, and the rest, an agradient part, proportional to the ...
