1 Tropical Cyclone Structure-2008 (TCS-08) ONR/NRL Funded Projects
Project Title and Principal Investigator(s) Background Scientific Objectives Field Experiment Requirements The Properties of Convective Clouds over the Western Pacific and Their Relationship to the Environment of Tropical Cyclones Zhaoxia Pu University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT Carolyn A. Reynolds and Allen Zhao Naval Research Laboratory, Monterey, CA Large-scale environmental conditions, meso-scale phenomena, and small scale but powerful convective events all play a crucial role in tropical cyclone (TC) formation. TCS-08 provides an excellent opportunity to understand the necessary conditions that determine formation and evolution of a TC. Characterize intense convection over the tropical oceans from radar, aircraft and satellite data Obtain wind profiles by Doppler wind lidar to get accurate TC environmental wind shears. Collect in-situ, radar, lidar data with satellite observations for mesoscale data assimilation and data impact studies. Monitor NOGAPS global analysis/forecast for TC formation and evolution. Derive the mesoscale environment of convective systems through assimilation of dropsonde, Doppler wind lidar, airborne radar and satellite data into COAMPS/WRF model. Evaluate the quality of NOGAPS global analysis. Understand the environmental factors that determine the TC formation and/or rapid intensification.
