RISSimulation of the Downshear Reformation of a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he downshear reformation of Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2001) was simulated at 1-km horizontal resolution using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The environmental shear tilted the initial parent vortex ...
Rapid Intensification of a Sheared, Fast-Moving Hurricane over the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urricane Irene (1999) rapidly intensified from 65 to 95 kt (~33.4 to 48.9 m s?1) in 18 h. During the rapid intensification (RI) period, the northeastward storm motion increased from 10 to 18 m s?1, the ambient southwesterly ...
Calculating Energy Flux in Internal Solitary Waves with an Application to Reflectance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The energetics of internal solitary waves (ISWs) in continuous, quasi-two-layer stratifications are explored using fully nonlinear, nonhydrostatic numerical simulations. The kinetic energy of an internal solitary wave is ...
Source and Pathway of the Western Arctic Upper Halocline in a Data-Constrained Coupled Ocean and Sea Ice Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: coupled ocean and sea ice model is used to investigate dense water (DW) formation in the Chukchi and Bering shelves and the pathways by which this water feeds the upper halocline. Two 1992?2008 data-constrained solutions ...
Evaluation of Tropical Cyclone Center Identification Methods in Numerical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: dentifying the center of a tropical cyclone in a high-resolution model simulation has a number of operational and research applications, including constructing a track, calculating azimuthal means and perturbations, and ...
Drag Characterization Study of Variable Camber Continuous Trailing Edge Flap
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) computational study was conducted to investigate the effect of various variable camber continuous trailing edge flap (VCCTEF) configurations on the lift and drag of a NASA generic ...
A Climatology of 500-hPa Closed Lows and Associated Precipitation in the Northeastern United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: emporal trends in precipitation associated with 500-hPa low pressure systems are assessed for consistency with overall precipitation trends in the northeastern United States. Increases in precipitation associated with ...
A Comparison of Atmospheric Reanalysis Products for the Arctic Ocean and Implications for Uncertainties in Air–Sea Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he uncertainties related to atmospheric fields in the Arctic Ocean from commonly used and recently available reanalysis products are investigated. Fields from the 1) ECMWF Interim Re-Analysis (ERA-Interim), 2) Common ...
Thermodynamic and Kinematic Influences on Precipitation Symmetry in Sheared Tropical Cyclones: Bertha and Cristobal (2014)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractPrior studies have shown an association between symmetrically distributed precipitation and tropical cyclone (TC) intensification. Although environmental vertical wind shear typically forces an asymmetric precipitation ...
On the Development of an Efficient Surrogate Model for Predicting Long-Term Extreme Loads on a Wave Energy Converter
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Accurate prediction of long-term extreme loads is essential for the design of wave energy converters (WECs), but it is also computationally demanding due to the low probabilities associated with their occurrence. Although ...
