McConochie Wind Field
Description
Grid point vortex Wind field, wind vectors. McConochie, J.D., T.A.Hardy and L.B.Mason, 2004: Modelling tropical cyclone over - water wind and pressure fields. Ocean Engineering, 31, 1757 - 1782.
Usage
McConochieWindField(rMax, vMax, vFm, thetaFm, Rlam, V, f, surface)
Arguments
rMax |
radius of maximum winds in km |
vMax |
maximum wind velocity calculation in m/s |
vFm |
input forward velocity of TC |
thetaFm |
input forward direction of TC |
Rlam |
two columns for distances and direction from grid points to TC centre in km |
V |
velocity profile |
f |
coriolis parameter at the centre of TC in hz |
surface |
equals one if winds are reduced from the gradient level to the surface, otherwise gradient winds. |
Value
array with two columns for zonal and meridional wind speed vector-components. //@example McConochieWindField(-1e-4,20,2,10,rbind(c(50,35),c(45,40)),c(20,20))
