Abstract

Abstract

The sea spray flux parameterization scheme is incorporated into a high resolution and non-hydrostatic weather research and forecasting (WRF) model to simulate tropical cyclone (TC) Morakot (0908),and to study the effect of sea spray on boundary layer structure and intensity of Morakot. The results show that the intensity prediction of Morakot has been improved by using the new scheme,while there is no any impact on its track forecasting. Moreover,the averaged elements,such as radial wind,tangential wind,temperature,relative humidity,vertical wind,heat flux and precipitation in TC inner core region are increase by improving TC boundary layer processes. That means the contributions of all the elements have play important roles on Morakot structure and intensity change.
