HubbertWindFieldPi: Hubbert Wind Field Time Series

Description

Time series vortex Wind, wind vectors. Hubbert, G.D., G.J.Holland, L.M.Leslie and M.J.Manton, 1991: A Real - Time System for Forecasting Tropical Cyclone Storm Surges. *Weather and Forecasting*, **6 * *, 86 - 97

Usage

HubbertWindFieldPi(f, rMax, vFm, thetaFm, Rlam, V, surface)

Value

array with two columns for zonal and meridional wind speed vector-components. //@example HubbertWindFieldPi(-1e-4,20,2,10,rbind(c(50,35),c(45,40)),c(20,20))

Arguments

f

single coriolis parameter at the centre of TC in hz

rMax

radius of maximum winds in km

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

surface

equals one if winds are reduced from the gradient level to the surface, otherwise gradient winds.
