A TWO-WAY INTERACTIVE MOVABLE NESTED MESH MODEL FOR TYPHOON TRACK PREDICTION

A limited area primitive equation model, designed for typhoon track prediction and based on two-way interactive, movable and nested mesh techniques, is developed in this paper. A detailed description is presented of the nesting strategy, terrain treatment and noise control measures. Also, several new methods are proposed. This model has been tested with case experiments under operational environments, and high forecast skill on typhoon tracks has been obtained.
