THREE-DIMENSIONAL NUMERICAL SIMULATION OF TROPICAL CYCLONE AND THE EFFECTS OF RADIATIVE PROCESSES ON IT

摘要

In this paper, a three-dimensional primitive equation numerical model includingvarious physical processes is constructed. Using this model, the development and thestructure of the tropical cyclone (typhoon) are first successfully simulated. Then theeffects of radiative processes on the development of the cyclone are investigated. Theradiative processes and their parameterization include long wave, short wave radiationand cloud type and cloudiness respectively. The results show that the tropical cyclonewill develop earlier and more quickly after the effect of radiative processes isincorporated, but the differences in intensity between the two cases with and withoutradiative processes at the final state are not evident. Only at the developing stage hasthe cyclone affected by radiation a sharper decrease in the surface pressure, a strongerwind and upward motion. a more obvious eye and eyewall, etc. All the results showthat the radiative processes are important in the earlier development stage of thetropica
