Abstract
The impact of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) scheme on the simulated track of TC InFa (2021) is explored in this study. The TC track and intensity are accurately captured in the experiment with the eddy-diffusivity mass-flux (EDMF) PBL scheme. Conversely, the TC exhibits a noticeably slower translation speed and deviates significantly from the observed track in the experiment using the Yonsei University (YSU) PBL scheme. The potential vorticity tendency (PVT) budget analysis reveals that the diabatic heating related to the asymmetric convection within the TC inner-core has a negative impact on the translation speed of TC. The in-cloud mixing effect in the YSU scheme is conducive to transporting the moisture from the boundary layer to the upper levels, promoting the development of asymmetric deep convection and the enhancing diabatic heating. This study presents a new perspective, suggesting that the representation of in-cloud mixing in the PBL scheme plays an important role on affecting the TC movement.
期刊介绍:
The journal publishes scientific papers (research papers, review articles, letters and notes) dealing with the part of the atmosphere where meteorological events occur. Attention is given to all processes extending from the earth surface to the tropopause, but special emphasis continues to be devoted to the physics of clouds, mesoscale meteorology and air pollution, i.e. atmospheric aerosols; microphysical processes; cloud dynamics and thermodynamics; numerical simulation, climatology, climate change and weather modification.
