Applications of Tropical Cyclone Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The extensive research in tropical cyclone modeling during the 1960s and 1970s has resulted in a number of applications for real-time track prediction. A review of the characteristics of these 3-dimensional dynamical models ...
Predicting Hurricane Landfall Precipitation: Optimistic and Pessimistic Views from the Symposium on Precipitation Extremes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Symposium on Precipitation Extremes was one of two special symposia organized for the American Meteorological Society national meeting. This symposium was organized into sessions on winter precipitation, summer ...
Comments on “The Influence of the Downstream State on Extratropical Transition: Hurricane Earl (1998) Case Study” and “A Study of the Extratropical Reintensification of Former Hurricane Earl Using Canadian Meteorological Centre Regional Analyses and Ensemble Forecasts”

International Experiments to Study Tropical Cyclones in the Western North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Four separate (but coincident in time) field experiments to study tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific area will be carried out during August/September 1990 by the United States, the Economic and Social Commission ...
Reassessing the Impact of Two Historical Florida Hurricanes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper reexamines two historic South Florida hurricanes, the ?Miami? Hurricane of 1926, and the ?Okeechobee? Hurricane of 1928. These storms are frequently cited for their disastrous impacts, but the casualty figures ...
Some Aspects of Vortex Structure Related to Tropical Cyclone Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Some effect of tropical cyclone structure on the vortex motion are examined in a nondivergent, barotropic numerical model with no basic current. As suggested earlier by DeMaria, the initial maximum wind speed has little ...
An Introduction to Engineering Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Contributions to Tropical Cyclone Motion by Small, Medium and Large Scales in the Initial Vortex
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional Fourier decomposition procedure is used to isolate small (≤500 km), medium (500< ? ≤ 1500 km) and large (>1500 km) scale components of some typical tangential wind profiles used in theoretical studies of ...
