RISLimitation of One-Dimensional Ocean Models for Coupled Hurricane–Ocean Model Forecasts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind stress imposed on the upper ocean by a hurricane can limit the hurricane?s intensity primarily through shear-induced mixing of the upper ocean and subsequent cooling of the sea surface. Since shear-induced mixing is ...
Improving the Ocean Initialization of Coupled Hurricane–Ocean Models Using Feature-Based Data Assimilation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coupled hurricane?ocean forecast models require proper initialization of the ocean thermal structure. Here, a new feature-based (F-B) ocean initialization procedure in the GFDL/University of Rhode Island (URI) coupled ...
Impact of a Warm Ocean Eddy’s Circulation on Hurricane-Induced Sea Surface Cooling with Implications for Hurricane Intensity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pper oceanic heat content (OHC) in advance of a hurricane is generally superior to prestorm sea surface temperature (SST) for indicating favorable regions for hurricane intensification and maintenance. OHC is important ...
The Importance of the Precipitation Mass Sink in Tropical Cyclones and Other Heavily Precipitating Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When water vapor is converted to cloud and precipitation and subsequently removed to the surface via precipitation, there is a corresponding hydrostatic pressure decrease due to the reduction of mass in the overlying column. ...
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 ...
