Interactions between Typhoon Choi-wan (2009) and the Kuroshio Extension System
Figure 4
Time series of (a) central pressure and (b) maximum wind speed, showing the six-hourly best-track values, the hourly value in each simulation, and the mean hourly simulated value of the 14 simulations. Integration times at 24 h, 48 h, and 69 h are included in the intensification, mature, and decaying phases, respectively. (c) The wind-pressure relationship simulated by the coupled model in each experiment and in the best-track data. The relationship proposed by Koba et al. [30] is shown for comparison. (d)–(f) Same as (a)–(c), except showing the simulation results of the uncoupled atmosphere model.
