The effects of surface flux parameterizations on tropical cyclone（TC） intensity and structure are investigated using the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting（WRF-ARW） modeling system with high-resolution simulations of Typhoon Morakot（2009）.Numerical experiments are designed to simulate Typhoon Morakot（2009） with different formulations of surface exchange coefficients for enthalpy（C_K） and momentum（C_D） transfers,including those from recent observational studies based on in situ aircraft data collected in Atlantic hurricanes.The results show that the simulated intensity and structure are sensitive to C_K and C_D,but the simulated track is not.Consistent with previous studies,the simulated storm intensity is found to be more sensitive to the ratio of C_K/C_D than to C_K or C_D alone.The pressure-wind relationship is also found to be influenced by the exchange coefficients,consistent with recent numerical studies.This paper emphasizes the importance of C_D and C_K on TC structure simulations.The results suggest that C_D and C_K have a large impact on surface wind and flux distributions,boundary layer heights,the warm core,and precipitation.Compared to available observations,the experiment with observed C_D and C_K generally simulated better intensity and structure than the other experiments,especially over the ocean.The reasons for the structural differences among the experiments with different C_D and C_K setups are discussed in the context of TC dynamics and thermodynamics.
基于WRF(Weather Research and Forecasting Model,天气预报模式)及其三维变分同化系统3DVAR,利用江苏省GPS/PWV(PWV:Precipitable Water Vapor,GPS反演得到可降水量)资料,并将其与探空资料比对订正,针对2011年6月18日梅雨锋暴雨进行3 h循环同化模拟。在降水参数化方案敏感性试验与单点同化试验基础上,设计多组试验对6 h降水量进行TS(Threat Score)评估。结果表明:(1)同化订正GPS/PWV资料对降水预报能力显著提高,特别是大雨、暴雨量级以上的预报能力;(2)降水量的RMSE(Root Mean Squared Error,均方根误差)相比控制试验均减小,CC(Correlation Coefficient,相关系数)均增大,最显著试验RMSE从19.1 mm下降到12.6 mm,CC从0.45上升到0.74;(3)NMC方法统计的背景误差协方差条件下中雨至暴雨量级TS评分均有一定程度提高,默认的背景误差协方差在大雨以上量级TS评分大幅提高。
