A note on the sea surface temperature sensitivity of a numerical model of tropical storm genesis
| Tuleya, R. E., and Y. Kurihara, 1982: A note on the sea surface temperature sensitivity of a numerical model of tropical storm genesis. Monthly Weather Review, 110(12), 2063-2069. |
| Abstract: In a three-dimensional numerical model of a tropical disturbance, a spectrum of development stages, from a weakening wave to a mature tropical storm, was obtained with a 5 K range (298 to 303 K) sea surface temperature (SST). However, the apparently large SST sensitivity of the model was found to be modulated by other factors including the large-scale environmental temperature and humidity. Through the use of this model, problems concerning a critical value of SST necessary for storm development were discussed. |
