Impacts of Oceanic Preexisting Conditions on Predictions of Typhoon Hai-Tang in 2005
Figure 15
(a) Time series of mean specific humidity (, ) averaged over the nine NCM predictions within a radius of 300 km from the predicted Hai-Tang’s center, along with time series of specific humidity in 1999, 2004, and 2005 predicted by NCM, also averaged within a radius of 300 km from the predicted Hai-Tang’s center: (b) same as Figure 15(a) except for mean specific cloud (Qc) plus specific rain (, ); and (c) same as Figure 15(a) except for mean hourly change in potential temperature caused by radiation (K per hour).
