Impact of environmental moisture on intensification of Hurricane Earl (2010) Longtao Wu, Hui Su, and Robert Fovell HS3 Science Meeting May

2 300 km HWRF

Goal and outline Environmental moisture appears to have a complex impact on tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and size – Helps, hurts, or has no effect, depending on the case, storm-relative location of the moisture, and other factors Dunkerton and collaborators have introduced the “wave pouch” concept… which might help explain some ostensibly contradictory results Investigate impact of environmental moisture perturbations, on a case that exhibited: – Rapid intensification – A weakly closed or partially open wave pouch 3

Experimental design WRF v km outer domain 3 km domain moving nest YSU, Thompson, RRTMG, Kain-Fritsch (9 km only) ERA-Interim – 8/29 at 00Z 48 h simulations 5 members for each run (temperature, moisture perturbations) 4 Outer domain

Summary ERA-Interim and WRF simulations suggest Earl was surrounded by a closed, or nearly closed, wave pouch Convective activity outside the pouch can open it Augmented moisture to south resulted in a significantly stronger storm Augmented moisture to west (ahead) helped usher dry air into inner core 51
