Abstract: In this study, the impacts of evaporative cooling from raindrops on a tropical cyclone (TC) are examined using cloud-resolving simulations under an idealized condition. Part I of this study showed that evaporative cooling ...

Abstract: Cloud-resolving simulations of an ideal tropical cyclone (TC) on an f plane are performed to investigate the effects of evaporative cooling on the evolution and structure of a TC. Evaporative cooling has markedly different ...

Abstract: ntensities (central pressures) of 28 cases of 22 tropical cyclones (TCs) that approached Japan were estimated by using single ground-based Doppler radar observations, and the accuracy and utility of the estimation method ...

Abstract: AbstractA ground-based Doppler radar observed the rapid intensification (RI) of Typhoon Goni (2015) for 24 h immediately after it completed an eyewall replacement cycle. Goni?s RI processes were examined by using radar ...

Abstract: his study evaluated the effect of recent eastern Siberian land surface changes, such as water surface expansion, on water-energy fluxes and precipitation and focused on land surface parameters using a three-dimensional ...

Abstract: his paper investigates the structures of and diurnal variations in low-level easterly winds blowing through the Tsugaru Strait and Mutsu Bay on 5?10 June 2003 using a numerical weather prediction model. Cool air that ...

Abstract: This study has investigated structures and diurnal variations of the easterly surface winds blowing throughout the east?west passage comprising the Tsugaru Strait, Mutsu Bay, and circumjacent terrestrial gaps in northern ...
