Diurnal variations of tropical cyclone outer region size growth
Various aspects of tropical cyclones (TCs) fluctuate with the diurnal cycle. TC size is critical to the extent of its damage, but diurnal variations in the growth of the outer region size have largely remained unexplored. This paper examines the diurnal variations in the growth of the radius of gale-force winds (34 kt; R34) by analyzing best-track data from 2001 to 2019 for both North Atlantic TCs and global TCs outside of the North Atlantic region. Statistically significant diurnal variations was found for R34 growth, with the maximum 6-h growth rate occurring at 2100–0300 local solar time (LST) for North Atlantic TCs, and at 0300–0900 LST for global TCs excluding the North Atlantic which experienced rapid intensification (≥30 knots within 24 h). The higher R34 6-h growth rates during the night were linked to a larger extent of very deep convective clouds with infrared brightness temperatures <208 K during this time.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric Science Letters (ASL) is a wholly Open Access electronic journal. Its aim is to provide a fully peer reviewed publication route for new shorter contributions in the field of atmospheric and closely related sciences. Through its ability to publish shorter contributions more rapidly than conventional journals, ASL offers a framework that promotes new understanding and creates scientific debate - providing a platform for discussing scientific issues and techniques.
We encourage the presentation of multi-disciplinary work and contributions that utilise ideas and techniques from parallel areas. We particularly welcome contributions that maximise the visualisation capabilities offered by a purely on-line journal. ASL welcomes papers in the fields of: Dynamical meteorology; Ocean-atmosphere systems; Climate change, variability and impacts; New or improved observations from instrumentation; Hydrometeorology; Numerical weather prediction; Data assimilation and ensemble forecasting; Physical processes of the atmosphere; Land surface-atmosphere systems.
