  5. Idealized Numerical Simulations (Huang & Lin) AEW-like disturbances can be produced by vortex shedding associated with flow over mountains (e.g., EH).

  6. Global Modeling of AEW-MCS Generation (A&T: Tang, Lin; Students: James & Van) • Adopt FIM model developed by the NOAA/ESRL (Lee and Koch) Icosahedral Model Icosahedral Grid

  8. Origin of Pre-Debby (2006) AEW-MCS

  9. African Dust Effects on Hurricane Helene (2006): Temporal evolution of Pmin & optical depth (Bae & students) Hurricane; Dust & sulfate & absorbing smoke Tropical depression; Sulfate & Heavy absorbing smoke Extratropical; NA Tropical storm; Dust & sulfate TS Debby (2006) behaved similarly.

  11. Effect of ocean spray lubrication effect TC intensity (Rastigejev, Lin) Sandwich model: The effect of the ocean spray on the hurricane dynamics is two-fold : Ocean spray Atmosphere • Thermodynamic: Evaporation of droplets in the ocean spray causes cooling of the atmosphere (Lighthill, 1999) • Mechanical: Significant reduction of turbulence induces a sharp flow acceleration (Barenblatt et al., 2005) Ocean

  12. We found that the mixing length reduction significantly enhances lubrication effect to be more than twice forKoc=0.5. We developed an E-e closure model to help verify our results and provide more realistic calculation. Uses full prognostics equations for turbulent kinetic energy and dissipation rate with no mixing length assumption
