A Three-Dimensional Perspective on Extratropical Cyclone Impacts

A Minimal Three-Dimensional Tropical Cyclone Model

A minimal 3D numerical model designed for basic studies of tropical cyclone behavior is described. The model is formulated in s coordinates on an f or b plane and has three vertical levels, one characterizing a shallow boundary layer and the other two representing the upper and lower troposphere, respectively. It has three options for treating cumulus convection on the subgrid scale and a simpl...

A three-dimensional perspective

and report changes that occur in their populations, especially in those countries where acute myocardial infarction and coronary mortality remain high, even increasing in some instances. The documentation of changes that have occurred in Finland and the development of programmes addressing the public health problem of heart disease provide a very useful model for other countries to follow. Unde...

The Sting Jet in a Simulated Extratropical Cyclone

The sting jet (SJ), distinguished from warm and cold conveyor belt jets, has significant impacts on our society and economy through producing damaging surface winds. The purpose of this study is to confirm two scientific hypotheses on the SJ through diagnosing the idealized numerical simulation. It is confirmed that the SJ exists and produces severe surface winds in the simulated extratropical ...

The Madden–Julian Oscillation’s Impacts on Worldwide Tropical Cyclone Activity

The 30–60-day Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) has been documented in previous research to impact tropical cyclone (TC) activity for various tropical cyclone basins around the globe. TheMJOmodulates largescale convective activity throughout the tropics, and concomitantly modulates other fields known to impact tropical cyclone activity such as vertical wind shear, midlevelmoisture, vertical motio...
