摘要2007年热带东风波前飓风费利克斯的形成是在一个两部分的研究中使用天气研究和预报(WRF)模式与高分辨率嵌套网格配置,允许云系统过程的代表性检查。模拟开始在前体非洲东风波扰动的波阶段。在这里,模拟和观察到的发展进行了比较,而在研究的第二部分中,各种大规模的分析,物理参数化,和初始化时间进行了探讨,以记录模型的敏感性。在这第一部分中,作者集中在波/涡形态,其与相邻的热带辐合带复合体的相互作用,以及在附近的发展风暴的涡度平衡。模式模拟的分析表明,波临界层内的自下而上的发展过程,并支持最近提出的三个新的热带气旋形成的假设Dunkerton,Montgome...
Abstract The formation of pre–Hurricane Felix (2007) in a tropical easterly wave is examined in a two-part study using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model with a high-resolution nested grid configuration that permits the representation of cloud system processes. The simulation commences during the wave stage of the precursor African easterly-wave disturbance. Here the simulated and observed developments are compared, while in Part II of the study various large-scale analyses, physical parameterizations, and initialization times are explored to document model sensitivities. In this first part the authors focus on the wave/vortex morphology, its interaction with the adjacent intertropical convergence zone complex, and the vorticity balance in the neighborhood of the developing storm. Analysis of the model simulation points to a bottom-up development process within the wave critical layer and supports the three new hypotheses of tropical cyclone formation proposed recently by Dunkerton, Montgome...
