REPRODUCING TROPICAL CYCLONES: A NOVEL COMBINED APPROACH OF VORTEX- FOLLOWING WITH BOGUSSING USING WRF

Storm surges are well-known as abnormal sea level rises, primarily resulting from the combined influence of atmospheric pressure and wind field systems generated by tropical cyclones (TCs). Therefore, accurate estimation of meteorological fields of atmospheric pressure and wind during cyclonic events is significant in estimating storm surges. However, meteorological data downscaling sometimes deviates atmospheric pressure and wind fields from observations. Consequently, the pursuit of a robust method to modify the atmospheric pressure and wind fields within meteorological data has taken significant research interest (Kawabata et al., (2012) and Iwamoto et al., (2023)). This study attempts to introduce a globally applicable novel approach for reproducing TCs by modifying atmospheric pressure and wind fields through Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) downscaling.
