NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE MESOSCALE STRUCTURE OF TYPHOON HERB 1996

The track, landfall, dynamic and thermo dynamic and cloud-rain physical mesoscale structures and their evolution of typhoon HERB 1996 in 36h from 0000Z 31 July to 1200Z 1 August 1996 were simulated by using the non-hydrostatic mesoscale model MM5. This period covered the process of typhoon HERB landfalling at Taiwan and Fujian province.
