RISUpper-Ocean Thermal Structure and the Western North Pacific Category 5 Typhoons. Part II: Dependence on Translation Speed
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using new in situ ocean subsurface observations from the Argo floats, best-track typhoon data from the U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center, an ocean mixed layer model, and other supporting datasets, this work systematically ...
The Effect of the Ocean Eddy on Tropical Cyclone Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The rapid intensification of Hurricane Katrina followed by the devastation of the U.S. Gulf States highlights the critical role played by an upper-oceanic thermal structure (such as the ocean eddy or Loop Current) in ...
Upper-Ocean Thermal Structure and the Western North Pacific Category 5 Typhoons. Part I: Ocean Features and the Category 5 Typhoons’ Intensification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Category 5 cyclones are the most intense and devastating cyclones on earth. With increasing observations of category 5 cyclones, such as Hurricane Katrina (2005), Rita (2005), Mitch (1998), and Supertyphoon Maemi (2003) ...
Atmospheric Fronts along the East Coast of Taiwan Studied by ERS Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of quasi-stationary alongshore atmospheric fronts typically located 30?70 km off the east coast of Taiwan is demonstrated by analyzing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images of the sea surface acquired by the ...
On the Origin of Atmospheric Frontal Lines off the East Coast of Taiwan Observed on Spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar Images
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frontal lines having offshore distances typically between 40 and 80 km are often visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired over the east coast of Taiwan by the European Remote Sensing Satellites 1 and 2 ...
Tropical Cyclone–Induced Ocean Response: A Comparative Study of the South China Sea and Tropical Northwest Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he thermocline shoals in the South China Sea (SCS) relative to the tropical northwest Pacific Ocean (NWP), as required by geostrophic balance with the Kuroshio. The present study examines the effect of this difference in ...
Improvements in Typhoon Intensity Change Classification by Incorporating an Ocean Coupling Potential Intensity Index into Decision Trees
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclone (TC) intensity prediction, especially in the warning time frame of 24?48 h and for the prediction of rapid intensification (RI), remains a major operational challenge. Sea surface temperature (SST) based ...
Influence of the Size of Supertyphoon Megi (2010) on SST Cooling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSupertyphoon Megi (2010) left behind two very contrasting SST cold-wake cooling patterns between the Philippine Sea (1.5°C) and the South China Sea (7°C). Based on various radii of radial winds, the authors found ...
The Interaction of Supertyphoon Maemi (2003) with a Warm Ocean Eddy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Understanding the interaction of ocean eddies with tropical cyclones is critical for improving the understanding and prediction of the tropical cyclone intensity change. Here an investigation is presented of the interaction ...
