Received: 20 January 2020; Accepted: 23 February 2020; Published: 6 March 2020 Abstract: A combination of the WAVEWATCH III (WW3) model and a modified Holland vortex model is developed and studied in the present work. The Holland 2010 model is modified with two improvements: the first is a new scaling parameter, bs, that is formulated with information about the maximum wind speed (vms) and the typhoon’s forward movement velocity (vt); the second is the introduction of an asymmetric typhoon structure. In order to convert the wind speed, as reconstructed by the modified Holland model, from 1-min averaged wind inputs into 10-min averaged wind inputs to force the WW3 model, a gust factor (gf) is fitted in accordance with practical test cases. Validation against wave buoy data proves that the combination of the two models through the gust factor is robust for the estimation of typhoon waves.

  • Assimilation of Ttrecretrieved Wind Data with WRF 3DVAR
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: ATMOSPHERES, VOL. 118, 10,361–10,375, doi:10.1002/jgrd.50815, 2013 Assimilation of T-TREC-retrieved wind data with WRF 3DVAR for the short-term forecasting of typhoon Meranti (2010) near landfall Xin Li,1 Jie Ming,1 Yuan Wang,1 Kun Zhao,1 and Ming Xue 2 Received 11 April 2013; revised 30 August 2013; accepted 4 September 2013; published 18 September 2013. [1] An extended Tracking Radar Echo by Correlation (TREC) technique, called T-TREC technique, has been developed recently to retrieve horizontal circulations within tropical cyclones (TCs) from single Doppler radar reflectivity (Z) and radial velocity (Vr, when available) data. This study explores, for the first time, the assimilation of T-TREC-retrieved winds for a landfalling typhoon, Meranti (2010), into a convection-resolving model, the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting). The T-TREC winds or the original Vr data from a single coastal Doppler radar are assimilated at the single time using the WRF three-dimensional variational (3DVAR), at 8, 6, 4, and 2 h before the landfall of typhoon Meranti. In general, assimilating T-TREC winds results in better structure and intensity analysis of Meranti than directly assimilating Vr data. The subsequent forecasts for the track, intensity, structure and precipitation are also better, although the differences becomes smaller as the Vr data coverage improves when the typhoon gets closer to the radar. The ability of the T-TREC retrieval in capturing more accurate and complete vortex circulations in the inner-core region of TC is believed to be the primary reason for its superior performance over direct assimilation of Vr data; for the latter, the data coverage is much smaller when the TC is far away and the cross-beam wind component is difficult to analyze accurately with 3DVAR method.

  • Real-Time Rainfall Forecasts Based on Radar Reflectivity During
    sensors Article Real-Time Rainfall Forecasts Based on Radar Reflectivity during Typhoons: Case Study in Southeastern Taiwan Chih-Chiang Wei * and Chen-Chia Hsu Department of Marine Environmental Informatics & Center of Excellence for Ocean Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University, Keelung 20224, Taiwan; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This study developed a real-time rainfall forecasting system that can predict rainfall in a particular area a few hours before a typhoon’s arrival. The reflectivity of nine elevation angles obtained from the volume coverage pattern 21 Doppler radar scanning strategy and ground-weather data of a specific area were used for accurate rainfall prediction. During rainfall prediction and analysis, rainfall retrievals were first performed to select the optimal radar scanning elevation angle for rainfall prediction at the current time. Subsequently, forecasting models were established using a single reflectivity and all elevation angles (10 prediction submodels in total) to jointly predict real-time rainfall and determine the optimal predicted values. This study was conducted in southeastern Taiwan and included three onshore weather stations (Chenggong, Taitung, and Dawu) and one offshore weather station (Lanyu). Radar reflectivities were collected from Hualien weather surveillance radar. The data for a total of 14 typhoons that affected the study area in 2008–2017 were collected. The gated recurrent unit (GRU) neural network was used to establish the forecasting model, and extreme gradient boosting and multiple linear regression were used as the benchmarks. Typhoons Nepartak, Meranti, and Megi were selected for simulation. The results revealed that the Citation: Wei, C.-C.; Hsu, C.-C.

  • Impacts of Upper-Level Cold Vortex on the Rapid Change of Intensity and Motion of Typhoon Meranti (2010)
    Vol.18 No.2 JOURNAL OF TROPICAL METEOROLOGY June 2012 Article ID: 1006-8775(2012) 02-0207-13 IMPACTS OF UPPER-LEVEL COLD VORTEX ON THE RAPID CHANGE OF INTENSITY AND MOTION OF TYPHOON MERANTI (2010) 1 2 3 4 LI Ying (李 英) , GUO Li-xia (郭丽霞) , XU Ying-long (许映龙) , HU Shu (胡 姝) (1. State Key Laboratory of Severe Weather, Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences, Beijing 100081 China; 2. Tangshan Meteorological Bureau, Tangshan, Hebei 063000 China; 3. National Meteorological Center, Beijing 100081 China; 4. Oceanic Hydrologic Center of Navy, Beijing 100161 China) Abstract: Typhoon Meranti originated over the western North Pacific off the south tip of the Taiwan Island in 2010. It moved westward entering the South China Sea, then abruptly turned north into the Taiwan Strait, got intensified on its way northward, and eventually made landfall on Fujian province. In its evolution, there was a northwest-moving cold vortex in upper troposphere to the south of the Subtropical High over the western North Pacific (hereafter referred to as the Subtropical High). In this paper, the possible impacts of this cold vortex on Meranti in terms of its track and intensity variation is investigated using typhoon best track data from China Meteorological Administration, analyses data of 0.5×0.5 degree provided by the global forecasting system of National Centers for Environmental Prediction, GMS satellite imagery and Taiwan radar data. Results show as follows: (1) The upper-level cold vortex was revolving around the typhoon anticlockwise from its east to its north. In the early stage, due to the blocking of the cold vortex, the role of the Subtropical High to steer Meranti was weakened, which results in the looping of the west-moving typhoon.
