Abstract: Results of an axisymmetric, nonhydrostatic hurricane model are analyzed with emphasis on the role of a parameterized ice-phase microphysics Inclusion of ice processes produces dramatic differences in the structure and ...

Abstract: This paper reports numerical simulations of the hurricane vortex by an axisymmetric, nonhydrostatic numerical model with 2 km maximum horizontal resolution. Moist convection is modeled explicitly using two different ...
