Customization of WRF-ARW model with physical parameterization schemes for the simulation of tropical cyclones over North Indian Ocean
Osuri, Krishna; Mohanty, U.; Routray, A.; Kulkarni, Makarand - In: Natural Hazards 63 (2012) 3, pp. 1337-1359
The convection and planetary boundary layer (PBL) processes play significant role in the genesis and intensification of tropical cyclones (TCs). Several convection and PBL parameterization schemes incorporate these processes in the numerical weather prediction models. Therefore, a systematic...
