Improving Hurricane Boundary Layer Parameterization Scheme Based on Observations

Improving Hurricane Boundary Layer Parameterization Scheme Based on Observations

Abstract Flight‐level data and global positioning system dropwindsonde observations collected from more than 187 flights into 19 tropical cyclones were used to examine why different planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes applied to hurricane models produce diverse forecasts of structure a...
