Double Holland Wind Profile

Description

McConochie *et al*'s double Holland vortex model based on Cardone *et al*, 1994.This application is the Coral Sea adaptation of the double vortex model and it can also be used for concentric eye - wall configurations.

Usage

DoubleHollandWindProfile(f, vMax, rMax, dP, cP, rho, beta, R)

Arguments

f

single coriolis parameter at the centre of TC in hz

vMax

maximum wind velocity calculation in m/s

rMax

radius of maximum winds in km

dP

pressure differential, environmental less TC central pressure in hPa

cP

TC central pressure in hPa

rho

density of air in Kg/m3

beta

exponential term for Holland vortex

R

vector of distances from grid points to TC centre in km

Value

array with two columns for velocity and then vorticity. //@example DoubleHollandWindProfile(-1e-4,20,20,10,980,1.15,1.2,50)
