Abstract: A planetary boundary-layer (PBL) parameterization based on the generalized similarity theory (GST) was tested in tropical cyclone models. This parameterization, with only one layer, is desired in modeling tropical cyclones ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations with a primitive equation model which includes parameterized physics are conducted to study the effects of an island mountain range on translating tropical cyclones. The idealized topography with a ...

Abstract: An axisymmetric, multilayer, numerical tropical cyclone model with a well-resolved planetary boundary layer is used to test the response of local, instantaneous changes of sea surface temperature (SST). One experiment shows ...

Abstract: The interactions between atmospheric vortex pairs are simulated and studied with a nondivergent barotropic model and a three-dimensional tropical cyclone model. Numerical experiments with nondivergent barotropic vortex ...

Abstract: An efficient, multilayer model for predicting the diurnal variations in the thermal and momentum fields in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is proposed for incorporating into mesoscale or large-scale dynamical models. ...

Abstract: The impact of satellite-sensed winds on the intensity forecasts of tropical cyclones is evaluated by a simulation study with an axisymmetric numerical model. The parameterized physics in the forecast model are deliberately ...

Abstract: An axisymmetric, hydrostatic ocean model containing a rigid bottom and a free surface is constructed to study the barotropic and baroclinic response in the upper and deep ocean to a wind stress corresponding to a stationary ...

Abstract: The Naval Research Laboratory?s limited-area numerical prediction system, a version of Navy Operational Regional Atmospheric Prediction System, was used to investigate the interaction between Hurricane Florence (1988) and ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional numerical model with a domain of 3000 km?3000 km and horizontal resolution of 60 km is used to study the influence of sea surface temperature (SST) on the behavior of tropical cyclones translating with ...
