Observational Analysis of Tropical Cyclogenesis in the Western North Pacific. Part II: Budget Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This is the second of a two-part study which uses a combination of composite rawinsonde and individual FGGE case analyses to identify the important physical processes associated with tropical cyclone formation. Part I ...
Observational Analysis of Tropical Cyclogenesis in the Western North Pacific. Part I: Structural Evolution of Cloud Clusters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper is the first of a two-part series summarizing recent attempts to advance omit understanding of the physical processes associated with tropical cyclone formation in the western North Pacific. A combination of ...
The Bulk Effects of Cumulus Momentum Transports in Tropical Cyclones
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The net influence of subgrid scale processes on the tangential momentum field in tropical cyclones is calculated as a residual of the grid-scale momentum budget for eight rawinsonde composite data sets. Results show that ...
An Analysis of Tropical Cyclone Formations in the South China Sea during the Late Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines tropical cyclone (TC) formations in the South China Sea (SCS) associated with the strong northeasterly monsoon during the late season. Results show that the percentage of all vortices that develop to TC ...
The Eyewall-Penetration Reconnaissance Observation of Typhoon Longwang (2005) with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, Aerosonde
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a successful eye-penetration reconnaissance flight by an unmanned aerial vehicle, Aerosonde, into Typhoon Longwang (2005) and the preliminary analyses of the collected data are presented. The 10-h flight is ...
Tropical Cyclone Formations in the South China Sea Associated with the Mei-Yu Front
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the 119 tropical cyclone (TC) formations in the South China Sea (SCS) during 1972?2002, and in particular the 20 in May and June. Eleven of these storms are associated with the weak baroclinic environment ...
The Secondary Low and Heavy Rainfall Associated with Typhoon Mindulle (2004)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents an observational and numerical study of Typhoon Mindulle (2004) as it affected Taiwan. Mindulle made landfall on the east coast of Taiwan at 1500 UTC 1 July 2004, and after 13 h, it exited Taiwan from ...
The Role of Trade Wind Surges in Tropical Cyclone Formations in the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A total of 40 out of 531 tropical cyclones that formed in the western North Pacific during 1986?2005 have accompanied trade wind surges located 5°?15° latitude to the north of the pretropical cyclone disturbance centers. ...
Some Large-Scale Characteristics Associated with Tropical Cyclone Development in the North Indian Ocean during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper discusses the meteorological conditions associated with tropical cyclone formation in the north Indian Ocean during the 1979 FGGE year. Seven developing systems are composited together using FUGE Ill-b analyses ...
Origin and Maintenance of the Long-Lasting, Outer Mesoscale Convective System in Typhoon Fengshen (2008)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uter mesoscale convective systems (OMCSs) are long-lasting, heavy rainfall events separate from the inner-core rainfall that have previously been shown to occur in 22% of western North Pacific tropical cyclones (TCs). ...
