ON DIAGNOSTIC ANALYSIS OF ENERGY FIELDS OF EXPLOSIVE ENHANCEMENT OF TYPHOON OFFSHORE

Abstract:

The energetics process of offehore typhoon in three kinds of explosive enhancement (TEE) are ana lyzed using ECMWF data. The results are as follows: (a) During the explosive development process,the enhancement of the rotational kinetic enersy (KW) is mainly in the lower troposphere while that ofthe potential energy (PE) is in the upper troposphere. The magnitude of rotational kinetic energy islargely bigger than that of divergent enersy (KΧ). (b) The environmental energy advected into the typhoon was about 30% of the internal increment of typhoon energy. The magnitude of energy was an order larger than increment of typhoon energy. (c) Among those three kinds of explosively developed typhoon, the enersy transformation mechanisms are different. (d) The influence of environment fields onabrupt intensification of typhoons couldn't be overestimated.
