Abstract: Hurricane models have rarely been used to investigate the observational fact that tropical disturbances seldom form, develop, or intensify over land. Furthermore, rather ad hoc assumptions have been made when modeling ...

Abstract: This study utilizes the First GARP Global Experiment's (FGGE) analyzed dataset and a relatively fine scale regional model in combination to investigate the feasibility of numerically simulating tropical disturbances during ...

Abstract: This study investigates two cases of the FGGE III-B tropical cyclone genesis study of Tuleya (1988) in more detail. These two cases occurred within a week of one another in the tropical North Atlantic in August 1979. One ...

Abstract: The genesis of a tropical storm is studied using a numerical simulation model. The model used is an 11-level primitive equation model covering a channel domain of 25° span with open lateral boundaries at latitudes 5.5 and ...

Abstract: The role of the environmental wind in tropical storm genesis is studied using a numerical simulationmodel. The model used is an 11-level, primitive equation model covering a channel domain of 25° span withopen lateral ...

Abstract: In a three-dimensional numerical model of a tropical disturbance, a spectrum of development stages, from a weakening wave to a mature tropical storm, was obtained with a 5 K range (298 to 303 K) sea surface temperature ...

Abstract: A detailed analysis of a numerically simulated tropical disturbance displays a comma-shaped pattern at the mature stage in the low-level vorticity, surface convergence, mid-level upward motion and precipitation fields. ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional, 11-level, primitive equation model has been constructed for a simulation study of tropical cyclones. The model has four levels in the boundary layer and its 70?70 variable grid mesh encloses a 4000-km ...

Abstract: Energy and angular momentum budgets are analyzed for a three-dimensional model hurricane described by Kurihara and Tuleya. Eddies which developed in the model are maintained in the mature stage by energy supply from both ...
