TC Wind System#

A metamodel to estimate the wind caused by the action of tropical cyclones (TCs) has been developed.

The methodology, as shown in the sketch below, is composed by a 4 steps procedure:

  1. Download forecast/reforecast TC tracks from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC)

  2. Calculate the vortex wind fields following Holland et al., 2008 associated to each track.

  3. Based on a metamodel constructed with downscaled ERA5 winds using the WRF model, High Resolution winds at 100m resolution can be obtained in the island.
