Research progress on the influence of water vapor on tropical cyclone intensity
The intensity changes of tropical cyclones (TCs) are a key focus in TC research community and pose significant challenges for operational forecasting. Water vapor plays a crucial role in the variations of TC intensity. This paper reviews and summarizes representative findings regarding the influence of water vapor on TC intensity. The discussion primarily covers the impact of water vapor sources, transport, distribution, budget, and phase changes on TC intensity. However, critical scientific challenges remain, including establishing quantitative thresholds for dry and cold air intrusion, understanding microphysical and dynamic interaction mechanisms in high-resolution models, and developing advanced moist thermodynamic approaches. Addressing these challenges is essential for advancing research and improving forecasts of the impact of water vapor on TC intensity.
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
