Role of eyewall and rainband eddy forcing in tropical cyclone intensification [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2019 While turbulence is commonly regarded as a flow feature pertaining to the planetary boundary layer (PBL), intense turbulent mixing generated by cloud processes also exists above the PBL in the eyewall and rainbands of a tropical cyclone (TC).

Performance of Ocean Simulations in the Coupled HWRF–HYCOM Model
Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2014 Abstract This paper introduces a next-generation operational Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) system that was developed at the U.S. National Centers for Environmental Prediction. The new system, HWRF–Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM), retains the same atmospheric component of operational HWRF, but it replaces the ...

Atmosphere, 2021 The prediction of rapid intensification (RI) in tropical cyclones (TCs) is a challenging problem. In this study, the RI process and factors contributing to it are compared for two TCs: an axis-symmetric case (Hurricane Irma, 2017) and an asymmetric case (

Sensitivity of hurricane forecasts to cumulus parameterizations in the HWRF model
Geophysical Research Letters, 2014 AbstractThe Developmental Testbed Center used the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) system to test the sensitivity of tropical cyclone track and intensity forecasts to different convective schemes. A control configuration that employed the HWRF Simplified Arakawa Scheme (SAS) was compared with the Kain‐Fritsch and Tiedtke schemes, as ...

Track Uncertainty in High-Resolution HWRF Ensemble Forecasts of Hurricane Joaquin [PDF]
Weather and Forecasting, 2019 Abstract Hurricane Joaquin (2015) was characterized by high track forecast uncertainty when it approached the Bahamas from 29 September 2015 to 1 October 2015, with 5-day track predictions ranging from landfall in the United States to east of Bermuda. The source of large track spread in Joaquin forecasts is investigated using an ensemble

Sensitivity of the Wave Field to High Time-Space Resolution Winds during a Tropical Cyclone
Oceans, 2023 The impact of the high space-temporal variability of the wind field during the moderate and intense storm stages of a tropical cyclone on the wave field as computed by the numerical model WaveWatch III is investigated in this work.

Evaluation of the Grell–Freitas Convective Scheme in the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) Model [PDF]
Weather and Forecasting, 2020 Abstract The Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) tested two convective parameterization schemes in the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) Model and compared them in terms of performance of forecasting tropical cyclones (TCs).
