Numerical Simulation of Typhoon Dot (1990) during TCM-90:Typhoon Dot¡¦s Discontinuous Track Across Taiwan

Abstract

A numerical simulation associated with Typhoon Dot (1990) was made using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University - National Center for Atmospheric Research Mososcale Model (MM5) initialized with data from the Tropical Cyclone Motion (TCM-90) field experiment. The physical processes which occurred during the discontinuous track of Typhoon Dot over Taiwan are investigated.
