متن کاملThe 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 ...
متن کاملDetection of Coherent Airstreams Using Cluster Analysis : Application to an Extratropical Cyclone
Flow in geophysical fluids is commonly summarized by coherent streams (e.g., conveyor belt flows in extratropical cyclones or jet streaks in the upper troposphere). Typically, parcel trajectories are calculated from the flow field and subjective thresholds are used to distinguish coherent streams of interest. This methodology contribution develops a more objective approach to distinguish cohere...
متن کاملA deep cyclone of African origin over the Western Mediterranean: diagnosis and numerical simulation
From 19 to 22 December 1979, a deep cyclone evolved over the Western Mediterranean. Gusty winds of more than 30 m/s, as well as a strong pressure decrease to about 990 hPa were recorded in Palma de Mallorca (Balearic Islands, Spain). ECMWF analyses are used for a diagnosis and numerical study of the case. Sensitivity experiments using the HIRLAM model are performed to assess the role of the sur...
متن کاملOn the Decay of Tropical Cyclone Winds Crossing Narrow Landmasses
A method is developed to adjust the Kaplan and DeMaria tropical cyclone inland wind decay model for storms that move over narrow landmasses. The basic assumption that the wind speed decay rate after landfall is proportional to the wind speed is modified to include a factor equal to the fraction of the storm circulation that is over land. The storm circulation is defined as a circular area with ...
