Adaptive Multigrid Hurricane Modeling
Abstract
Accurate simulation and prediction of atmospheric and oceanic phenomena and circulation in general--and tropical cyclones in particular--relies on combining accurate data, detailed understanding of the relevant physics and dynamics, and appropriate numerical methods. This research project seeks to contribute to the latter two areas by: a) Developing improved numerical methods for modeling and predicting mesoscale phenomena and b) Advancing understanding of tropical cyclone evolution and motion Most of the work is focused on developing and applying adaptive multigrid methods in the context of a barotropic hurricane model. The techniques developed should be applicable to a wide range of modeling and predictive efforts, especially those requiring increased resolution in localized regions.
