The Fifth Pennsylvania State University and National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) is applied to study the precipitation and wind speed during Typhoon Chanchu (2006). Five model runs with selected physical parameterizations and different sea surface temperature (SST) distributions are applied in the study. Simulations are evaluated using satellite observations. It is found...
In this study, compared with other dataset, Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) helps more to investigate the relationship between post-landfall tropical cyclones (TCs) precipitation and narrow mountain effect, during pre-monsoon period in Irrawaddy Delta (ID) region. It shows that if TC rounds the mountains located north of ID region, rainfall will mainly spread over ID district. By contrast,...
The progress in marine meteorology research achieved by scientists in China during the four-year period from 2003 to 2006 is summarized under four categories: marine disaster study, typhoon over the ocean, ocean-atmosphere monitoring technology, and ocean-atmosphere forecasting technology. Compared to the previous four years, many more first-hand datasets have been obtained and more scientific issues...
Features of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in the South China Sea (SCS) are discussed using geostrophic currents estimated from maps of sea level anomalies of the TOPEX/Poseidon altimetry data. A high EKE is identified in the southeast off Vietnam coast with the highest values about 1400 cm/sup 2//sec/sup 2/ in both summer and autumn. This high EKE is caused by the instability of the current axis moving...
