Sensitivity of WRF tropical cyclone simulations in the Philippines to different SST data
Improving the accuracy of tropical cyclone (TC) simulations in numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, such as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, has been an increasingly important endeavor. Sea-air moisture and energy fluxes are mainly driven by sea surface temperature (SST) and the mixed layer underneath, which have significant effects on the formation and intensification of TCs. We investigated the sensitivity of three Philippine TCs - Typhoons Mangkhut, Goni, and Rai - to different SST datasets and a 1-D ocean mixed layer (OML) model in WRF. We found that the WRF runs with the high-resolution SST data update showed improvements in modeled maximum wind speed and consequently improved the simulated tracks over the archipelagic and/or coastal waters of the Philippines, as it gave better confidence in the (intensity-based) tracking algorithm after TCs made landfall in the country. TC-associated rainfall was also found to be sensitive to SST-updated model runs. Our results show that the use of SST significantly reduces the dry bias of WRF-simulated TC rainfall. The use of the high-resolution GHRSST dataset yielded the best TC simulation results over other SST data by simulating the sensible and latent heat or moisture fluxes over land and sea along coastlines better across the inland archipelagic waters of the Philippines. Disasters due to TCs are often brought about by strong winds and heavy rains over land. Considering that virtually no added computational cost is incurred in including SST update in the WRF model, the use of SST in TC modeling is an efficient method to improve TC hazard simulations.
期刊介绍:
Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans is an international journal for research related to the dynamical and physical processes governing atmospheres, oceans and climate.
Authors are invited to submit articles, short contributions or scholarly reviews in the following areas:
•Dynamic meteorology
•Physical oceanography
•Geophysical fluid dynamics
•Climate variability and climate change
•Atmosphere-ocean-biosphere-cryosphere interactions
•Prediction and predictability
•Scale interactions
Papers of theoretical, computational, experimental and observational investigations are invited, particularly those that explore the fundamental nature - or bring together the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary aspects - of dynamical and physical processes at all scales. Papers that explore air-sea interactions and the coupling between atmospheres, oceans, and other components of the climate system are particularly welcome.
