Numerical investigation of Typhoon Kai-tak (1213) using a mesoscale coupled WRF-ROMS model - Part Ⅱ: Wave effects

摘要

Continuing along the path of previous papers in this series, this paper describes numerical work to investigate seven different computational schemes of wave impact on the typhoon processes. Investigations showed that the wave dynamics factor is the most severe impact factors and should therefore be considered for coupling atmosphere-ocean interaction during a typhoon. The simulation results reveal the temporal and spatial distribution of typhoons field, pressure field, typhoon waves, storm surges, wind-induced flow field, sea surface stress and heat flux. Typhoon waves have a spatial asymmetrical distribution, the storm surges and flow field have asymmetrical distribution in space and has lag in time. This paper is a companion paper to "Numerical investigation of Typhoon Kai-tak (1213) using a mesoscale coupled WRF-ROMS model".
