- W4385635861 abstract "Abstract The combination of moderate vertical wind shear (VWS) and dry environments can produce the most uncertain scenarios for tropical cyclone (TC) genesis and intensification. We investigated the sources of increased uncertainty of TC development under moderate VWS and dry environments using a set of Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) ensemble simulations. Statistical analysis of ensemble members for precursor events and time-lagged correlations indicates that successful TC development is dependent on a specific set of precursor events. A deficiency in any of these precursor events leads to a failure of TC intensification. The uncertainty of TC intensification can be largely attributed to the probabilistic characteristics of precursor events lining up together before TC intensification. The critical bifurcation point between successful and failed trials in these idealized simulations is the sustained vortex alignment process. Even for the failed intensification cases, most simulations showed deep organized convection, which reformed a midlevel vortex. However, for the failed cycles, the new midlevel vortex could not sustain vertical alignment with the low-level center and was carried away by VWS shortly. Under the most uncertain setup (VWS = 7.5 m s −1 and 50% moisture), the latest-developing ensemble member had seven events of tilt decreasing and increasing again that occurred during the 8 days before genesis. Some unsuccessful precursor events looked very close to the successful ones, implying limits on the intrinsic predictability for TC genesis and intensification in moderately sheared and dry environments. Significance Statement The aim of this study is to identify a critical bifurcation point that determines whether tropical disturbances in moderately sheared and dry environments will develop into intense storms or dissipate. When it comes to predicting the formation and strength of tropical cyclones, vertical wind shear, where the environmental wind changes with height, presents a challenging scenario. When the shear is neither too weak nor too strong, some systems manage to develop into cyclones, while others get torn apart under similar shear conditions. Understanding the differences between these outcomes remains a puzzle. Through extensive computer simulations, we have discovered a key factor that contributes to the uncertainty surrounding the alignment of the midlevel vortex with the center of the low-level vortex. These results reveal the complexity and multiple sources of uncertainty involved in forecasting tropical cyclone intensification, providing valuable insights into why moderate shear is a particularly challenging regime to predict tropical genesis and intensification." @default.
