Abstract: he statistical and dynamical characteristics of binary tropical cyclones (TCs) observed in the western North Pacific (WNP) for 62 years (1951?2012) are investigated by using best track and reanalysis data. A total of 98 ...

Abstract: he effects of topography on the evolution of Typhoon Saomai (2006) are investigated by conducting a series of numerical simulations with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model using 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of ...

Abstract: t 1034 UTC 2 September 2007, a commercial aircraft flying from Jeju, South Korea, to Osaka, Japan, at an altitude of approximately 11.2 km encountered severe turbulence above deep convection. To investigate the characteristics ...

Abstract: The weakly nonlinear response of a two-dimensional stably stratified atmosphere to prescribed diabatic heating in a uniform flow is investigated analytically using perturbation expansion in a small value of the nonlinearity ...

Abstract: The response of a two-dimensional, stably stratified shear flow to diabatic cooling, which represents the evaporative cooling of falling precipitation in the subcloud layer, is examined using both a linear analytical theory ...

Abstract: Effects of nonlinearity on the stably stratified atmospheric response to prescribed low-level heating in a uniform flow are investigated through nondimensional numerical model experiments over a wide range of the nonlinearity ...

Abstract: he convective source and momentum flux spectra of a parameterization of convective gravity wave drag (GWDC) are validated in a three-dimensional spectral space using mesoscale numerical simulations for various ideal and ...

Abstract: An updated parameterization of gravity wave drag forced by subgrid-scale cumulus convection (GWDC) in large-scale models is proposed. For an analytical formulation of the cloud-top wave stress, two-dimensional, steady-state, ...

Abstract: he excessively strong polar jet and cold pole in the Southern Hemisphere winter stratosphere are systematic biases in most global climate models and are related to underestimated wave drag in the winter extratropical ...
