| Abstract: | In this paper, the Pennsylvania State University-NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM4) is used to investigate the explosive oceanic cyclone
of 14-15 March 1988 over the warm Kuroshio Current. A series of numerical simulations on this cyclogenesis indicates that
the favorable weather conditions and strong baroclinity in the low- and middle-level are essential to its explosive development.
The explosive cyclogenesis occurred over a wide range of sea surface temperatures (SST's), which was then characterized by
strong baroclinity, the low-level jet (LLJ) was initially formed under the favorable atmospheric circulation and then this
LLJ advected the moisture and heat northward for the explosive development of the cyclone, the LLJ played an important role
in the process of cyclogenesis. Sensitivity experiments show that the latent heating was a key factor to explosive cyclogenesis,
the latent heating deepened the short-wave trough, which resulted in the rapid intensification of the cyclone; while in the
explosive intensification stage and continuous development stage, there was less contribution of local surface processes for
the explosion of the cyclone. |
