The impact of horizontal resolution on the CNOP and on its identified sensitive areas for tropical cyclone predictions

摘要

In this study, the impacts of horizontal resolution on the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP) and on its identified sensitive areas were investigated for tropical cyclone predictions. Three resolutions, 30 km, 60 km, and 120 km, were studied for three tropical cyclones, TC Mindulle (2004), TC Meari (2004), and TC Matsa (2005).
