Research Highlight


Impact of surface roughness parameterizations on tropical cyclone simulations over the Bay of Bengal using WRF-OML model

Dynamic variations in surface drag (Cd) improves on the prediction of pre-monsoon tropical cyclones. Post-monsoon storms are highly sensitive to the variations in moist enthalpy (Ck) coefficients. Storm induced ocean response is sensitive to changes in surface drag and enthalpy coefficients. Garratt based enthalpy coefficients better capture the variations in moisture budget parameters.
