Abstract: The radial circulation equation for a balanced vortex is solved with forcing functions obtained from numerical simulations of hurricane formation from prehurricane cloud clusters and depressions. The simulations were made ...

Abstract: The nonlinear effects of asymmetries associated with synoptic-scale waves in which hurricanes usually form are simulated by introducing steady-state and time varying eddy fluxes of angular momentum in a parameterized way ...

Abstract: The results of numerical integrations of Sundqvist's (1970) symmetric model for hurricane development modified to include parameterized large-scale eddy fluxes of momentum are presented. The initial wind and moisture ...

Abstract: The effect of the vertical transport of horizontal momentum by cumulus clouds on the development of a symmetric model hurricane is investigated. This is accomplished by using Sundqvist's symmetric hurricane model with ...

Abstract: The role of large scale eddy processes in the transformation of cloud clusters and depressions into hurricanes is investigated by using different initial conditions in numerical integrations of the Naval Research Laboratory ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations and diagnostics are performed for Typhoon Tip and Tropical Storm Faye, both of which occurred during 1979, the year of the First Global GARP (Global Atmosphere Research Program) Experiment (FGGE). The ...
