Effects of Convective Heating and Air-Sea Interaction on Tropical Cyclone Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Design and perform controlled numerical experiments with a realistic hurricane model (Wang 1998) and a coupled hurricane-ocean model to identify major processes determining baroclinic TC motion in the presence of convective heating and/or air-sea interaction. We develop, test, and apply a new diagnostic framework, the potential vorticity tendency (PVT) analysis, for quantifying contributions of various physical processes to TC motion.

Climatic geography of Tropical Cyclone hazards Affective on the southern coasts of Iran The occurrence of any climatic fringes, including annual tropical storms, leave irreparable risks in its dominated areas. Understanding these events and knowledge of the time of their occurrence can be helpful in managing the unexpected incidents caused by them. Tropical cyclones are important natural turbu...
متن کاملSymmetric and Asymmetric Structures of Hurricane Boundary Layer in Coupled Atmosphere–Wave–Ocean Models and Observations
It is widely accepted that air–sea interaction is one of the key factors in controlling tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. However, the physical mechanisms for connecting the upper ocean and air–sea interface with storm structure through the atmospheric boundary layer in TCs are not well understood. This study investigates the air–sea coupling processes using a fully coupled atmosphere–wave–ocean...

Our long term fundamental goals are 1) to develop a movable multiply nested mesh ocean model and investigate its application for air-sea interaction studies on the mesoscale, 2) to study coupled air-sea processes at very high wind speeds, 3) to investigate the capability of coupled tropical cyclone ocean models for improving predictions of the ocean response and tropical cyclone evolution, and ...
متن کاملDynamics and Thermodynamics Analysis of Tropical Cyclone Haiyan
Tropical cyclone Haiyan (TCH) that formed over the West Pacific Ocean during 3-11 November 2013 has been investigated using three datasets produced by Japan Meteorology Agency, ECMWF and NCEP. Strength of TCH has been studied using two synoptic parameters of 10-m wind velocity and mean sea level pressure (MSLP). Following, three dynamic parameters including vertical wind shear (VWSH) vector, he...
