SIMULATION OF TYPHOONS ANOMALOUS TRACK (I) - RANKINE VORTEX MODEL

This paper proposes a method for simulating and asymmetric typhoon by using Rankine vortex model. Considering similarity between tropical cy clone and the Rankine vortex, the paper has quantitatively discussed t he feasibility of the methods. In order to decide quantitatively Ranki ne vortex's parameters to simulate typhoon's structure, the paper has dealt with TCM data for Yancy Typhoon (9012) as initial fields. these results are considered as a foundation for further studying typhoon mo tion by CD approach.
