Air-Sea Enthalpy and Momentum Exchange at Major Hurricane Wind Speeds Observed during CBLAST (2012, unknown): “Three-dimensional, full physics models have also shown sensitivity to the parameterization of surface fluxes in hurricane intensity forecasts (Braun and Tao 2000; Bao et al. 2002; Davis et al. 2008).”
Diurnal cycles of surface winds and temperatures as simulated by five boundary layer parameterizations (2004, background): “However, most of the previous 3D modeling studies focused on the diurnal cycles of surface temperature (TSFC) and the spatial structures of the mass and wind fields in the PBL in relation to clouds and precipitation (Burk and Thompson 1989; Hong and Pan 1996; Braun and Tao 2000).”
Do tropical cyclones intensify by WISHE? (2009, background): “It proves useful at this juncture to recall that the heat and momentum exchange coefficients (Ck and Cd , respectively) do exhibit some variation for the bulk-aerodynamic boundary-layer scheme in MM5 (e.g. Braun and Tao, 2000, their Table II).”
A New Vertical Diffusion Package with an Explicit Treatment of Entrainment Processes (2006, background): “Bright and Mullen (2002) compared four boundary layer schemes and concluded that the MRF PBL scheme, together with the Blackadar scheme, correctly predicted the development of the deep, monsoon PBL, and consequently did a better job of predicting the convectively available potential energy (CAPE).”
A Numerical Investigation of the Effects of Dry Air Aloft on Deep Convection (2009, methodology): “(1983) microphysical scheme was used (Braun and Tao 2000), with hail selected as the large ice category; this scheme represents five species of water condensate (cloud droplets, cloud ice particles, rain, snow, and hail).”
Sensitivity of Numerical Simulation of Early Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Emily (2005) to Cloud Microphysical and Planetary Boundary Layer Parameterizations (2008, background): “According to Braun and Tao (2000), the nonlocal scheme tends to have stronger warming and drying at the low level of the PBL.”
A Cloud-Resolving Simulation of Hurricane Bob, 1991: Storm Structure and Eyewall Buoyancy (2013, methodology): “A detailed description of the model setup is provided in Braun and Tao (2000) and is only briefly summarized here.”
Numerical Simulation of Hurricane Bonnie (1998). Part II: Sensitivity to Varying Cloud Microphysical Processes (2006, methodology): “Explicit hurricane simulations have now been performed using three-class ice microphysics schemes with the grid sizes of 1.5–6 km (e.g., Liu et al. 1997; Braun and Tao 2000; Wang 2001; Yau et al. 2004).”
Choosing a Boundary Layer Parameterization for Tropical Cyclone Modeling (2012, methodology): “Increasing h makes the simulation even more like those of Braun and Tao (2000) and Smith and Thomsen (2010) with the MRF parameterization. We, therefore, suspect that the diagnosed boundary layer height in their simulations is too high, and agree with the conclusions of Noh et al. (2003) regarding t”
The Maximum Intensity of Tropical Cyclones in Axisymmetric Numerical Model Simulations (2009, methodology): “The model is based on the compressible nonhydrostatic cloud model of Bryan and Fritsch (2002). It is configured for axisymmetric simulations of tropical cyclones following the study by Rotunno and Emanuel (1987, hereafter RE87).”
Characteristics of Deep Tropical and Subtropical Convection from Nadir-Viewing High-Altitude Airborne Doppler Radar (2010, methodology): “01 cm(23) to bound values used in earlier studies (Braun and Tao 2000), D is particle diameter, and l is the slope of the size distribution; N0 is taken to be 304 J O U R N A L O F T H E A T M O S P H E R I C S C I E N C E S VOLUME 67”
Convective-Scale Structure and Evolution during a High-Resolution Simulation of Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification (2010, methodology): “Malkus and Riehl (1960), Simpson et al. (1998), and Braun (2002, 2006) identiﬁed deep, undilute convective cores in the eyewall, which they termed hot towers, as accomplishing a signiﬁcant portion of the vertical mass ﬂux in the eyewall.”
Why Rolls are Prevalent in the Hurricane Boundary Layer (2005, result): “Faller (1965), Lilly (1966), Brown (1970), and Etling (1971) all examined the linear stability of the neutrally stratified Ekman layer and found that the normal modes agreed well with both the laboratory measurements and the observed characteristics of midlatitude BL rolls.”
An Explicit Simulation of Tropical Cyclones with a Triply Nested Movable Mesh Primitive Equation Model: TCM3. Part II: Model Refinements and Sensitivity to Cloud Microphysics Parameterization* (2002, unknown): “In recent years, it has become more and more attractive to use explicit cloud microphysics in modeling tropical cyclones (Liu et al. 1997, 1999; Braun and Tao 2000; Wang 2001).”
