Abstract: A planetary boundary-layer (PBL) parameterization based on the generalized similarity theory (GST) was tested in tropical cyclone models. This parameterization, with only one layer, is desired in modeling tropical cyclones ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations with a primitive equation model which includes parameterized physics are conducted to study the effects of an island mountain range on translating tropical cyclones. The idealized topography with a ...

Abstract: The interactions between atmospheric vortex pairs are simulated and studied with a nondivergent barotropic model and a three-dimensional tropical cyclone model. Numerical experiments with nondivergent barotropic vortex ...

Abstract: An efficient, multilayer model for predicting the diurnal variations in the thermal and momentum fields in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is proposed for incorporating into mesoscale or large-scale dynamical models. ...

Abstract: The impact of satellite-sensed winds on the intensity forecasts of tropical cyclones is evaluated by a simulation study with an axisymmetric numerical model. The parameterized physics in the forecast model are deliberately ...

Abstract: The structure and dynamics of the outflow layer of tropical cyclones are studied using a three-dimensional numerical model. Weak and strong tropical cyclones are produced by the numerical model when starting from idealized ...
