Effect of Varying Wind Intensity, Forward Speed, and Surface Pressure on Storm Surges of Hurricane Rita by Abram Musinguzi, Muhammad K. Akbar

“…To understand the individual and combined influence of wind intensity, surface pressure and forward speed, a numerical experiment is conducted using Advanced CIRCulation + Simulating Waves Nearshore (ADCIRC + SWAN) by performing hindcasts of Hurricane Rita storm surges. The wind field generated by Ocean Weather Inc. …”

Organized kinetic energy backscatter in the hurricane boundary layer from radar measurements by Sroka, Sydney Glass, Guimond, S.R.

“…The analysis presented here of very high-resolution, three-dimensional wind observations from Hurricane Rita (2005) at peak intensity reveals large regions of organized backscatter in the boundary layer associated with coherent, turbulent eddies. …”

Impact of Microphysical Parameterizations on Simulated Hurricanes—Using Multi-Parameter Satellite Data to Determine the Particle Size Distributions that Produce Most Realistic Stor... by Svetla Hristova-Veleva, Ziad Haddad, Alexandra Chau, Bryan W. Stiles, F. Joseph Turk, P. Peggy Li, Brian Knosp, Quoc Vu, Tsae-Pyng Shen, Bjorn Lambrigtsen, Eun-Kyoung Seo, Hui Su

“…Here we simulated 2005′s category-5 Hurricane Rita using the cloud-permitting community Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) with two different microphysical schemes and with seven different modifications of the parametrized hydrometeor properties within one of the two schemes. …”
