Abstract: A primitive equation, two-way interactive nested tropical cyclone model has been developed by the Naval Environmental Prediction Research Facility for operational use during the 1980 typhoon season. The fine mesh grid of ...

Abstract: Recent work with nested horizontal grid networks in the solution of systems of geophysical equations is briefly reviewed. The horizontal nesting technique utilized in the experiments described in this paper is the ...

Abstract: The tropical cyclone forecasting skill level of the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC) has reached a plateau and has shown little or no lasting improvement during the last 10 years. Because JTWC relies on an array of ...

Abstract: A numerical technique with simultaneous time integration of a meshed grid system is proposed, in which the fine-mesh region is able to move within the coarse-mesh grid. The interface boundary conditions employed are shown ...

Abstract: This paper compares the performance of two multi-level high-resolution baroclinic tropical cyclone models which are currently in operational use. In the Atlantic, the National Hurricane Center utilizes the Movable Fine-mesh ...

Abstract: The meteorological quality and operational utility of the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System (NOGAPS) in forecasting tropical cyclones is evaluated and it is shown that the model can provide useful ...
