Abstract

A very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS), ‘Ockhi’ started its journey from southwest Bay of Bengal (BoB) over Comorin area (7.5°N–77.5°E) as a low-pressure area on 28 November, 2017. Initially it moved north-westwards across Lakshadweep Islands without hitting Tamil Nadu or Kerala coast, then moved north-eastward over the Arabian Sea and dissipated upon hitting south Gujarat coast on 06 December, 2017. Rapid intensification (RI), clockwise recurvature and a longer track were the major features of the VSCS, Ockhi. In the present study, an attempt has been made to understand the mechanism of cyclogenesis, RI and recurvature of the Ockhi using satellite and reanalysis datasets. Initially, role of easterly waves (EW) and Madden Jullian Oscillations (MJO) on the cyclogenesis of tropical cyclone Ockhi is addressed. Our analysis suggests that the EW (MJO) played a seminal (insignificant) role in preconditioning the atmosphere for the cyclogenesis of the Ockhi. Our detailed analysis using various oceanic parameters indicate that, the passage of the cyclonic storm over the regions of high thermal energy, especially warmer ocean mean temperature (OMT) at 100 m depth, was instrumental in its rapid intensification. Further, we addressed the recurving feature of the VSCS Ockhi using steering flow analysis. It is found that strong north-eastward steering winds, embedded in subtropical westerlies with deep southward extent, favoured the recurving of the Ockhi towards north-eastward by suppressing the conventional westward (north-westward) track movement.

关于非常严重的气旋风暴奥奇(Ockhi)的气旋发生,快速增强和弯曲的动力学

摘要

一场非常严重的气旋风暴(VSCS),“奥基”号于2017年11月28日从西南孟加拉湾(BoB)越过科摩林地区(7.5°N–77.5°E)成为低压区,开始了旅程。沿Lakshadweep群岛向西北方向移动,而没有到达泰米尔纳德邦(Tamil Nadu)或喀拉拉邦海岸,然后在阿拉伯海上向东北移动,并于2017年12月6日到达古吉拉特邦南部海岸后消散。快速集约化(RI),顺时针弯曲和更长的航迹是VSCS的主要功能,Ockhi。在本研究中,已尝试使用卫星和重新分析数据集来了解Ockhi的回生机理,RI和曲率。最初,研究了东风波(EW)和麦登朱利安涛动(MJO)在热带气旋Ockhi的旋回中的作用。我们的分析表明,EW(MJO)在预备大气中促进Ockhi的循环发生中起了重要作用(微不足道)。我们使用各种海洋参数进行的详细分析表明,气旋风暴在高热能区域(尤其是100 m深度的较暖海洋平均温度(OMT))上的通过有助于其迅速增强。此外,我们使用转向流分析解决了VSCS Ockhi的反曲特征。研究发现,强烈的东北向风嵌在亚热带西风中并向南延伸,通过抑制常规的西(北西)轨道运动,有利于奥基向东北的反曲。我们使用各种海洋参数进行的详细分析表明,气旋风暴在高热能区域(尤其是100 m深度的较暖海洋平均温度(OMT))上的通过有助于其迅速增强。此外,我们使用转向流分析解决了VSCS Ockhi的反曲特征。研究发现,强烈的东北向风嵌在亚热带西风中并向南延伸,通过抑制常规的西(北西)轨道运动,有利于奥基向东北的反曲。我们使用各种海洋参数进行的详细分析表明,气旋风暴在高热能区域(尤其是100 m深度的较暖海洋平均温度(OMT))上的通过有助于其迅速增强。此外,我们使用转向流分析解决了VSCS Ockhi的反曲特征。研究发现,强烈的东北向风嵌在亚热带西风中并向南延伸,通过抑制常规的西(北西)轨道运动,有利于奥基向东北的反曲。我们使用转向流分析解决了VSCS Ockhi的反曲特征。研究发现,强烈的东北向风嵌在亚热带西风中并向南延伸,通过抑制常规的西(北西)轨道运动,有利于奥基向东北的反曲。我们使用转向流分析解决了VSCS Ockhi的反曲特征。研究发现,埋藏在亚热带西风中并向南延伸的强东北风,通过抑制常规的西(北-西)轨道运动,有利于奥基向东北的反曲。
