abstract

  • Results of an axisymmetric, nonhydrostatic hurricane model are analyzed with emphasis on the role of a parameterized ice-phase microphysics. Inclusion of ice processes produces dramatic differences in the structure and evolution of the simulated hurricane vortex. Mesoscale convective features are more plentiful with ice, and the simulated vortex grows more slowly. -from Authors
