Abstract: High spatial and temporal resolution simulations using the Rotunno and Emanuel axisymmetric, cloud-resolving, hurricane model are found to greatly exceed Emanuel?s energetically based upper bound for maximum potential ...

Abstract: In numerical simulations using an axisymmetric, cloud-resolving hurricane model, hurricane intensity shows quasi-steady-state behavior. This quasi-steady intensity is interpreted as the maximum possible intensity (MPI) of ...

Abstract: Hurricane Opal (1995) crossed the Gulf of Mexico rapidly intensifying to a 130-kt storm, then fortunately weakening before landfall on the Florida panhandle. This intensification was underforecast by the National Hurricane ...

Abstract: The transport and mixing characteristics of a large sample of air parcels within a mature and vertically sheared hurricane vortex are examined. Data from a high-resolution (2-km horizontal grid spacing) numerical simulation ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the physics and numerical simulation of the adiabatic generation of infrasound by tornadoes. Classical analytical results regarding the production of infrasound by vortex Rossby waves and by corotating ...

Abstract: Rotating tables have been in use for many years because of their ability to demonstrate fluid dynamical phenomena, shedding insight on the sometimes complicated or esoteric mathematics used to describe such processes. A ...
