The intermittency of coherent turbulent structures in the tropical cyclone boundary layer makes them challenging to fully characterize, especially regarding their impact on momentum dynamics in the eyewall. Furthermore, the fine spatial and temporal model resolution needed to resolve these structures has long impeded their understanding. Using the...
Improved representation of turbulent processes in numerical models of tropical cyclones (TCs) is expected to improve intensity forecasts. To this end, the authors use a large-eddy simulation (with 31-m horizontal grid spacing) of an idealized category 5 TC to understand the role of turbulent processes in the inner core of TCs and their role on the...
Predicting the rapid intensification (> 15.0 m s ⁻¹ increase in 10m wind speed over 24 hours or less) of tropical cyclones (TC) remains a challenge in the broader context of numerical weather prediction largely due to their multiscale dynamics. Ocean observations show that the size and magnitude of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies associated...
Tropical cyclones remain a major threat to the lives, property and economy of communities around the South West Indian ocean (SWIO), notably Southern Africa and Madagascar. This study uses the weather research forecast (WRF) model to perform a series of simulations for tropical cyclone Enawo with the aim of investigating the effect of an increase o...
