Methodology: idealized case study f plane located at 12.5ºN A prescribed axisymmetric vortex: — maximum sfc tangential wind: 15 m/s — radius of sfc maximum wind: 90 km Quiescent environment thermally corresponding to the Jordan sounding with a constant sea surface temperature of 29ºC Initial mass and wind fields derived by solving the nonlinear balance equation for the prescribed vortex (Wang 1995, MWR) Model grid spacing: dx = dy = 0.06, 0.02 (~9 km, ~ 3 km) kx = 43 (NMM sigma-p levels) 9 km 3 km 55 o

Summary 1.There is a significant sensitivity of RMW to the size of the initial vortex. 2.RMW’s sensitivity to vertical diffusion is much greater than the horizontal. 3. The slope of RMW is also dependent on the variation in diabatic forcing. 4. Further observational analysis and theoretical understanding are needed to determine an “optimal” operational physics.
