Abstract

The rotating-convection paradigm for tropical cyclone behaviour is shown to provide an attractive and consistent framework for interpreting the dynamics of formation and intensification of at least some medicanes. The ideas are illustrated by a case study of the medicane that formed over the eastern Mediterranean in mid-December 2020. This case study is based on analyses of data from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), imagery from the European geostationary meteorological satellite, Meteosat Second Generation, and output from a convection permitting numerical simulation of the event using the United Kingdom (UK) Met Office regional model with the RAL2 physics configuration. Limitations of the currently widely accepted interpretation of medicanes in terms of the so-called Wind-Induced Surface Heat Exchange (WISHE) intensification mechanism are discussed.

热带气旋的旋转-对流模式在解释药物中的应用:一个例子

研究表明，热带气旋行为的旋转-对流模式为解释至少一些气旋的形成和增强的动力学提供了一个有吸引力和一致的框架。这些想法通过对2020年12月中旬在地中海东部形成的药物的案例研究来说明。本案例研究基于欧洲中期天气预报中心(ECMWF)的数据分析、欧洲地球同步气象卫星Meteosat第二代的图像，以及使用英国气象局(UK)具有RAL2物理配置的区域模式对该事件进行对流模拟的输出。目前广泛接受的解释的局限性，在所谓的风诱导表面热交换(WISHE)强化机制方面进行了讨论。

期刊介绍： Tropical Cyclone Research and Review is an international journal focusing on tropical cyclone monitoring, forecasting, and research as well as associated hydrological effects and disaster risk reduction. This journal is edited and published by the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee (TC) and the Shanghai Typhoon Institute of the China Meteorology Administration (STI/CMA). Contributions from all tropical cyclone basins are welcome. Scope of the journal includes: • Reviews of tropical cyclones exhibiting unusual characteristics or behavior or resulting in disastrous impacts on Typhoon Committee Members and other regional WMO bodies • Advances in applied and basic tropical cyclone research or technology to improve tropical cyclone forecasts and warnings • Basic theoretical studies of tropical cyclones • Event reports, compelling images, and topic review reports of tropical cyclones • Impacts, risk assessments, and risk management techniques related to tropical cyclones
