TROPICAL CYCLONES(STUFF YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW)
• Also known as hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones
![Page 3: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• Hurricane-scale winds
• Rainfall
• Storm Surge (winds blowing coastward + lower atmospheric pressure)
• Fine-Scale Tornadoes

POP QUIZ(HOPE YOU PAID ATTENTION IN 520)
• What are 6 necessary environmental conditions for tropical cyclone formation?• 1. SST>27ºC (about 80ºF)
• 2. Warm ocean mixed layer thick enough to supply energy
• 3. Unstable atmosphere with a moist lower/middle troposphere
• 4. Low vertical windshear
• 5. Coriolis force (do not form between 5N-5S)
• 6. Pre-existing low-level rotating circulations.

GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM DROPWINSONDEIMPORTANCE AND PROBLEMS USING THEM
• GPS sondes are used to get measurements inside of hurricanes.
• Measures pressure, temperature, humidity and position every 0.5 seconds.
• Accuracy: wind 0.5-2.0 ms^-1 and height within 2 m
• Dropped from 1.5-3 km or higher and falls at 10-15ms^-1
• Problems – Turbulence and intense rainfall can cause signal interruptions or failures to report values.

DRAG COEFFICIENTIMPORTANCE AND EQUATIONS
• In strong winds, momentum exchange at the sea surface is described by a sea-state-dependent drag coefficient. (Cd)
• Never been observed in tropical cyclones but used in prediction models
• Forecast track, intensity, surface wind speeds, geographic distribution of extreme wind, storm surge and wave forecast.
• U=mean wind speed, Ustar=friction velocity, Z=height, Zo=surface roughness length, tao=surface momentum flux, rho=air density, U10= 10-m wind speed, g=gravity
![Page 8: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Logarithmic increase to max around 500m.
• Decrease due to the weakening of the Horizontal PG in warm core of cyclone.
• Variability due to convective scale features in eye wall as well as the location of the GPS sonde launch.
MEAN WIND SPEED

REDUCTION OF DRAG COEFFICIENT
![Page 11: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
• Foam patches
• Formed from steep waves being sheared off by high winds.
• Creates a ‘slip’ surface.
• GPS sonde errors
• Sampling strategy
REASON FOR REDUCTION OF DRAG COEFFICIENT

AIR SEA EXCHANGE IN HURRICANES
• CBLAST – Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer
• CBLAST used to improve TC track and intensity forecast.
• Two observational components
• 1) airborne in situ and remote sensing instrumentation flown into hurricanes by the two NOAA WP-3D aircraft
• 2) air-deployed surface-drifting buoys and subsurface-profiling floats.

• Red dashed lines are values from previous paper.
• Gray circles are CBLAST values.
• Each show leveling off or decrease but CBLAST shows leveling off near 22-23ms^-1 while previous paper showed leveling off around 33ms^-1
DRAG AND MOIST EXCHANGE COEFFICIENTS
![Page 16: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Wave height – dashed black contours
• Wave steepness – thin blue contours
• Swell direction – solid black ‘streamlines”
• I. Unimodal, short-wavelength and waves move with wind
• II. Bimodal longer wavelengths, outward relative to dominant waves moving outward up to 45 degrees relative to wind direction.
• III. Unimodal spectra with peak long-wavelegnth waves moving outward relative to the wind by 60-90 degrees.

• SOLO floats profiles temperature, salinity and oxygen
• EM-APEX profiles temperature, salinity and velocity
• Lagrangian profiles temperatue, salinity and gas concentration
• Drifters profile temperature and wind speeds and directions.
FLOATS AND DRIFTERS

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WIND SPEED, WAVE HEIGHT AND BUBBLE LAYER DEPTH
![Page 19: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• Rapid deepening of the mixed layer associated with high shear across the thermocline.
• Strong wind and wave forcing directly generates turbulence in the upper 20-40m of the ocean.
• SST front created with temperature range of about 27.5-30 degrees Celsius. Cold wake formed from passage with a max decrease of about 3.2 degrees Celsius.
MIXED LAYER DEPTH
![Page 20: By: Travis Perry Major: Atmospheric Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/5681665a550346895dd9db75/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Cd leveling off near 22-23ms^-1 most likely due to a bubble layer.
• Drifter and buoy deployments give us first time ever boundary layer observations.
• Cold wakes are formed from passage of Tropical Cyclones.
• Great Start in TC research.
• Not a lot to disagree with.
