| Abstract: | Using the National Center for Environmental Prediction reanalysis data
on 1.0° × 1.0° grids and data from the Tropical Cyclone yearbook (2000), a
diagnostic analysis and numerical simulation were performed to investigate the
characteristics and mechanism underlying the rapid weakening of typhoon Xangsane.
The results show that a sharp decline in the intensity of typhoon Xangsane
resulted from its movement into the cool sea surface temperature area in the East
China Sea, the intrusion of cold air from the mainland into the typhoon, and a
rapid increase of the vertical wind shear in the surrounding environment. An
important factor that led to the demise of the typhoon was a significant decrease
in the moisture transport into the typhoon. Furthermore, the results of the
numerical simulation and sensitivity experiments indicate that sea surface
temperature largely modulated the rapid weakening of typhoon Xangsane. |
