This study has attempted to verify the Global Forecast System (GFS) model forecasted tropical cyclone track and intensity over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) for the years 2019 and 2020. GFS is one of the operational models in the India Meteorological Department (IMD), which provides the medium-range weather forecast up to 10 days. The forecasted tracks from the GFS forecast are obtained using a vortex tracker developed by Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL). A total of 13 tropical cyclones formed over the North Indian Ocean, eight during 2019 and five in 2020 have been considered in this study. The accuracy of the model predicted tracks and intensity is verified for five days forecasts (120 h) at 6-h intervals; the track errors are verified in terms of Direct Position Error (DPE), Along Track Error (ATE) and Cross-Track Error (CTE). The annual mean DPE over NIO during 2019 (51–331 km) is lower than 2020 (82–359 km), and the DPE is less than 150 km up to 66 h during 2019 and 48 h during 2020. The positive ATE (76–332 km) indicates the predicted track movement is faster than the observed track during both years. The positive CTE values for most forecast lead times suggest that the predicted track is towards the right side of the observed track during both years. The cyclone Intensity forecast for the maximum sustained wind speed (MaxWS) and central mean sea level pressure (MSLP) are verified in terms of mean error (ME) and root mean square error (RMSE). The errors are lead time independent. However, most of the time model under-predicted the cyclone intensity during both years. Finally, there is a significant variance in track and intensity errors from the cyclone to cyclone and Bay of Bengal basin to the Arabian Sea basin.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44442,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Cyclone Research and Review","volume":"11 1","pages":"Pages 36-49"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2225603222000030/pdfft?md5=e12fe96619c5ce49afb006c91d4aa1c6&pid=1-s2.0-S2225603222000030-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48240534","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Convective vorticity vector is a parameter of vector field, different from scalar field, it contains more important information of physical quantities, so it could not be replaced. Considering the irresistible importance of vector field we will introduce the theory of vector field and its dynamic forecast method. With the convective vorticity vector and its vertical component's tendency equation, diagnostic analysis on the heavy-rainfall event caused by landfall typhoon “Morakot” in the year 2009 is conducted. The result shows that, the abnormal values of convective vorticity vector always changes with the development of the observed precipitation region, and their horizontal distribution is quite similar. Analysis reveals a certain correspondence between the convective vorticity vector and the observed 6-h accumulated surface rainfall, they are significantly related. The convective vorticity vector is capable of describing the typical vertical structure of dynamical and thermodynamic fields of precipitation system, so it is closely related to the occurrence and development of precipitation system and could have certain relation with the surface rainfall regions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":44442,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Cyclone Research and Review","volume":"10 4","pages":"Pages 209-214"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2225603221000369/pdfft?md5=92facf2d07844303c4aaa37e08084eeb&pid=1-s2.0-S2225603221000369-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47327233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, rainfall-runoff analysis was performed using a deep learning technique that can capture the relationship between a hydrological model used in the existing methodology and the data itself. The study was conducted in the Yeongsan River basin, which forms a large-scale agricultural area even after industrialization, as the study area.

As a result of the analysis, the correlation coefficient and NSE (Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency), which are performance indicators of the hydrological model, showed higher performance in the LSTM network. In general, the LSTM network performs better with a longer calibration period.
