A Physics-Based Parameterization of Air–Sea Momentum Flux at High Wind Speeds and Its Impact on Hurricane Intensity Predictions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new bulk parameterization of the air?sea momentum flux at high wind speeds is proposed based on coupled wave?wind model simulations for 10 tropical cyclones that occurred in the Atlantic Ocean during 1998?2003. The new ...
Impact of Upper-Tropospheric Temperature Anomalies and Vertical Wind Shear on Tropical Cyclone Evolution Using an Idealized Version of the Operational GFDL Hurricane Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he GFDL hurricane modeling system, initiated in the 1970s, has progressed from a research tool to an operational system over four decades. This system is still in use today in research and operations, and its evolution ...
The Operational GFDL Coupled Hurricane–Ocean Prediction System and a Summary of Its Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The past decade has been marked by significant advancements in numerical weather prediction of hurricanes, which have greatly contributed to the steady decline in forecast track error. Since its operational implementation ...
Description and Analysis of the Ocean Component of NOAA’s Operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Model (HWRF)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Princeton Ocean Model for Tropical Cyclones (POM-TC), a version of the three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean model known as the Princeton Ocean Model, was the ocean component of NOAA?s operational Hurricane ...
Impact of Sea-State-Dependent Langmuir Turbulence on the Ocean Response to a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ropical cyclones are fueled by the air?sea heat flux, which is reduced when the ocean surface cools due to mixed layer deepening and upwelling. Wave-driven Langmuir turbulence can significantly modify these processes. This ...
