1 On the observed and modeled development of Hurricane Earl ( 2010 ) during rapid intensification
Forecasting tropical cyclone (TC) intensification remains difficult despite research efforts to improve numerical weather prediction models. This study aims to examine Hurricane Earl’s rapid intensification in order to gain a better understanding of the observed and modeled intensification process. 113 dropwindsondes were analyzed before, during, and after RI in the eye, eyewall, and outer rain...
متن کاملRapid intensification, eyewall contraction, and breakdown of Hurricane Charley (2004) near landfall
[1] The rapid intensification and decay in Hurricane Charley (2004) was sampled by the WSR-88Ds in Key West and Tampa. Charley’s axisymmetric wind fields, vertical vorticity, perturbation pressure, and reflectivity were derived from the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) technique. Charley’s rapid intensification was accompanied by a contracting eyewall. The central pressure dropped 33...
متن کاملSome Aspects of Hurricane Inner-Core Dynamics and Energetics
The energy cycle of the mature hurricane resides in the secondary circulation that passes through the storm’s eyewall. By equating the generation of energy in this cycle to boundary layer dissipation, an upper bound on wind speed is derived. This bound depends on the degree of thermodynamic disequilibrium between the tropical ocean and atmosphere, on the difference between sea surface and outfl...
متن کاملPICTURE OF THE MONTH Observed Inner-Core Structural Variability in Hurricane
Hurricane Dolly (2008) exhibited dramatic inner-core structural variability during a 6-h rapid intensification and deepening event just prior to making landfall in southern Texas at 1800 UTC 23 July. In particular, the eyewall was highly asymmetric from 0634–1243 UTC, with azimuthal wavenumber m 5 4–7 patterns in the eyewall radar reflectivity and prominent mesovortex and polygonal eyewall sign...
متن کاملEnvironmental Interactions in the GFDL Hurricane Model for Hurricane Opal
Hurricane Opal (1995) crossed the Gulf of Mexico rapidly intensifying to a 130-kt storm, then fortunately weakening before landfall on the Florida panhandle. This intensification was underforecast by the National Hurricane Center. Forecast fields from the 1997 version of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory Hurricane Prediction System (GFDL model) for Hurricane Opal are used to diagnose th...
