  • Understanding the Unusual Looping Track of Hurricane Joaquin (2015) and Its Forecast Errors
    JUNE 2019 M I L L E R A N D Z H A N G 2231 Understanding the Unusual Looping Track of Hurricane Joaquin (2015) and Its Forecast Errors WILLIAM MILLER AND DA-LIN ZHANG Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science, University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, Maryland (Manuscript received 19 September 2018, in final form 5 February 2019) ABSTRACT Hurricane Joaquin (2015) took a climatologically unusual track southwestward into the Bahamas before recurving sharply out to sea. Several operational forecast models, including the National Centers for Envi- ronmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Forecast System (GFS), struggled to maintain the southwest motion in their early cycles and instead forecast the storm to turn west and then northwest, striking the U.S. coast. Early cycle GFS track errors are diagnosed using a tropical cyclone (TC) motion error budget equation and found to result from the model 1) not maintaining a sufficiently strong mid- to upper-level ridge northwest of Joaquin, and 2) generating a shallow vortex that did not interact strongly with upper-level northeasterly steering winds. High-resolution model simulations are used to test the sensitivity of Joaquin’s track forecast to both error sources. A control (CTL) simulation, initialized with an analysis generated from cycled hybrid data assimi- lation, successfully reproduces Joaquin’s observed rapid intensification and southwestward-looping track. A comparison of CTL with sensitivity runs from perturbed analyses confirms that a sufficiently strong mid- to upper-level ridge northwest of Joaquin and a vortex deep enough to interact with northeasterly flows asso- ciated with this ridge are both necessary for steering Joaquin southwestward.

  • Baja Greenhouse Production Takes Big Hit from Hurricane
    - Advertisement - Baja greenhouse production takes big hit from hurricane September 22, 2014 Greenhouses on Mexico's Baja peninsula endured enormous damage from the winds of Hurricane Odile, which delivered its strongest punch Sept. 16 on the southern part of the peninsula. Lance Jungmeyer, president of the Fresh Produce Association of the Americas, located in Nogales, AZ, indicated Sept. 19 that the hurricane "hit southern Baja pretty hard. Reports are still coming in, but the first reports are of 100 percent loss" of the region's produce greenhouses and their crops. Lance Jungmeyer"We may find that not all the crops were lost," Jungmeyer said, adding that the question remained as to what part of these crops might make it to market. "A lot of the roads were washed out" in Baja. 1 / 2 In the key Mexican production states of Sonora and Sinaloa, there was "minor" crop damage and the rainfall was beneficial in replenishing reservoirs. "It's a positive because when you grow in the desert, you need all the water you can get," said Jungmeyer. "Overall, even if Baja loses tomatoes and peppers, Sinaloa and Sonora will pick up the slack" to serve demand. "There will not be supplies like you would normal have but it's not dire unless you were growing in Baja." Jungmeyer said it was wind damage more than rain that devastated Baja. "The wind tore down structures and the plants were ripped to shreds. But maybe some can be salvaged. It was the winds that were really concerning." Initial news reports indicated Baja's winds were 100 miles per hour.

    Border Climate Summary Resumen del Clima de la Frontera Issued: January 15, 2009 An overview of Hurricane Norbert landfall in Baja California By Luis M. Farfán, CICESE, La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico Sixteen tropical cyclones developed in the eastern Pacific Ocean during the season of 2008. Seven of them reached hurricane strength with maximum wind speeds that exceeded 120 kilometer per hour, or 75 miles per hour, lashing coastal areas and causing significant flooding. Three of these systems made landfall in northwestern Mexico (Figure 1), prompting the mobilization of an emergency coordination and planning protocol established by the Mexican government that taps the expertise of state officials, military personnel, and scientists to help ensure public safety.

  • Dissertation Tropical Cyclone Kinetic
    DISSERTATION TROPICAL CYCLONE KINETIC ENERGY AND STRUCTURE EVOLUTION IN THE HWRFX MODEL Submitted by Katherine S. Maclay Department of Atmospheric Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2011 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Thomas Vonder Haar Co-Advisor: Mark DeMaria Wayne Schubert Russ Schumacher David Krueger ABSTRACT TROPICAL CYCLONE KINETIC ENERGY AND STRUCTURE EVOLUTION IN THE HWRFX MODEL Tropical cyclones exhibit significant variability in their structure, especially in terms of size and asymmetric structures. The variations can influence subsequent evolution in the storm as well as its environmental impacts and play an important role in forecasting. This study uses the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting Experimental System (HWRFx) to investigate the horizontal and vertical structure of tropical cyclones. Five real data HWRFx model simulations from the 2005 Atlantic tropical cyclone season (two of Hurricanes Emily and Wilma, and one of Hurricane Katrina) are used. Horizontal structure is investigated via several methods: the decomposition of the integrated kinetic energy field into wavenumber space, composite analysis of the wind fields, and azimuthal wavenumber decomposition of the tangential wind field. Additionally, a spatial and temporal decomposition of the vorticity field to study the vortex Rossby wave contribution to storm asymmetries with an emphasis on azimuthal wavenumber-2 features is completed. Spectral decomposition shows that the average low level kinetic energy in azimuthal wavenumbers 0, 1 and 2 are 92%, 6%, and 1.5% of the total kinetic energy. The kinetic energy in higher wavenumbers is much smaller. Analysis also shows that the low level kinetic energy wavenumber 1 and 2 components ii can vary between 0.3-36.3% and 0.1-14.1% of the total kinetic energy, respectively.

Local official Venustiano Perez had said Saturday night there were "more than 2,500 people homeless" and another 1,500 whose homes were damaged in the storm. Authorities in Baja California Sur said conditions had returned to normal in the state, but said they were maintaining surveillance in the northern part of the state and assessing a final damage tally.

  • The Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Elena (1985). Part I: Symmetric Intensification
    OCTOBER 2005 C ORBOSIERO ET AL. 2905 The Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Elena (1985). Part I: Symmetric Intensification KRISTEN L. CORBOSIERO AND JOHN MOLINARI Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, The University at Albany, State University of New York, Albany, New York MICHAEL L. BLACK Hurricane Research Division, NOAA/AOML, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 1 December 2004, in final form 17 March 2005) ABSTRACT One of the most complete aircraft reconnaissance and ground-based radar datasets of a single tropical cyclone was recorded in Hurricane Elena (1985) as it made a slow, 3-day anticyclonic loop in the Gulf of Mexico. Eighty-eight radial legs and 47 vertical incidence scans were collected aboard NOAA WP-3D aircraft, and 1142 ground-based radar scans were made of Elena’s eyewall and inner rainbands as the storm intensified from a disorganized category 2 to an intense category 3 hurricane. This large amount of con- tinuously collected data made it possible to examine changes that occurred in Elena’s inner-core symmetric structure as the storm intensified. On the first day of study, Elena was under the influence of vertical wind shear from an upper-tropospheric trough to the west. The storm was disorganized, with no discernable eyewall and nearly steady values of tangential wind and relative vorticity. Early on the second day of study, a near superposition and construc- tive interference occurred between the trough and Elena, coincident with upward vertical velocities and the radial gradient of reflectivity becoming concentrated around the 30-km radius. Once an inner wind maxi- mum and eyewall developed, the radius of maximum winds contracted and a sharp localized vorticity maximum emerged, with much lower values on either side.
