| Abstract: | Impacts of small-scale vortices on typhoon or tropical cyclone(TC) tracks in a system of three components (an idealized subtropical high ridge,a TC,and small-scale vortices) were examined numerically using a barotropic primitive equation model and idealized initial fields.Two small-scale vorticity fields were generated stochastically,where the number of initial small-scale vortices is 100.In the two fields,the number, size,structure as well as the total kinetic energy of the small-scale vortices were all th... |
