Why Are There Upwellings on the Northern Shelf of Taiwan under Northeasterly Winds?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Upwellings are observed on the northern shelf of Taiwan during northeasterly winds. Analytical and realistic numerical models are used to explain how vertical motions are created by divergence and convergence produced by ...
The Interaction of Supertyphoon Maemi (2003) with a Warm Ocean Eddy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Understanding the interaction of ocean eddies with tropical cyclones is critical for improving the understanding and prediction of the tropical cyclone intensity change. Here an investigation is presented of the interaction ...
