Tropical Cyclogenesis due to ITCZ Breakdown: Idealized Numerical Experiments and a Case Study of the Event in July 1988
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mechanism of tropical cyclogenesis due to the breakdown of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ breakdown) and the structure of associated vortices are studied by numerical experiments using a nonhydrostatic mesoscale ...
The Tornadic Supercell on the Kanto Plain on 6 May 2012: Polarimetric Radar and Surface Data Assimilation with EnKF and Ensemble-Based Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tornadic supercell and associated low-level mesocyclone (LMC) observed on the Kanto Plain, Japan, on 6 May 2012 were predicted with a nonhydrostatic mesoscale model with a horizontal resolution of 350 m through assimilation ...
Important Factors for Tornadogenesis as Revealed by High-Resolution Ensemble Forecasts of the Tsukuba Supercell Tornado of 6 May 2012 in Japan
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTo identify important factors for supercell tornadogenesis, 33-member ensemble forecasts of the supercell tornado that struck the city of Tsukuba, Japan, on 6 May 2012 were conducted using a mesoscale numerical ...
Mesoscale Convective Vortex that Causes Tornado-Like Vortices over the Sea: A Potential Risk to Maritime Traffic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractStrong gusty winds in a weak maritime extratropical cyclone (EC) over the Tsushima Strait in the southwestern Sea of Japan capsized several fishing boats on 1 September 2015. A C-band Doppler radar recorded a ...
