Description

My research explores the impact of Rossby waves (RWs) and gravity waves (GWs) on atmospheric dynamics, crucial for understanding weather and climate processes. Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, specifically version 4.3 with enhanced stratospheric simulations, and ERA5 data for initial conditions, the study focuses on high-resolution simulations over the Philippines during a typhoon from October 24 to 27, 2020.

Key analyses include vertical wind speed variations before and after the typhoon, spatial distribution of total precipitation, and zonal wind component patterns. The results show significant increases in vertical motions post-typhoon, highlighting the typhoon's influence on atmospheric dynamics. This research demonstrates the importance of advanced modeling and data assimilation in resolving GW effects.

Overall, this study enhances understanding of how typhoons generate GWs and their impact on atmospheric processes, improving weather prediction models and insights into atmospheric wave phenomena.
