1 INTRODUCTION Tropical cyclones (TCs) moving north and getting to the Liaodong Peninsula and waters of the Yellow and Bohai Seas are in their late phase of life cycle. While weakening rapidly, TCs carry a large amount of warm and humid air that forms heavy rainfall by itself on the one hand and interact with westerlies in the middle latitudes on the other. With their warm-core structure destroyed by intruded cooler air, TCs absorb baroclinic energy while it weakens and experiences extratropical transition (ET). With right conditions and complicated topographic features of the peninsula, the transformed extratropical cyclone evolves to intensify heavy rainfall in most cases and even results in secondary disasters like storm surges. Therefore, the extratropical transition of TCs is usually responsible for more serious damage in mid-latitude areas. For the forecast of heavy rain associated with north-going TCs experiencing extratropical transition, it not only involves their own intensity and structure but also the distribution of the surrounding field and its interactions with TCs. Most of the present studies discuss TCs-inflicted heavy rains or those taking place south of the Shandong Peninsula. Focusing on intense precipitation resulted from TCs over the Liaodong Peninsula, this work analyzes the distribution of the ambient field and physical quantities hoping to help forecast TCs-related heavy rains accurately.
Based on the tropical cyclone(TC)asymmetric disturbance as the superposition of the symmetric environmental circulation,the analytical solution of travelling wave is given by using the barotropical nondivergent model with diabatic heating forcing and non-friction in a plane polar coordinate.Then,the TC radial inhomogeneous structure is analyzed on radial/tangential velocity and geopotential height.It is found that the different kinds of structures are influenced by the Coriolis parameter(f),TC intensity(Ω),disturbance circular frequency(ω),and TC angular wavenumber(m).And,the diabatic heating(Q_1)has significant impacts on the radial/tangential velocity distribution shaped like the inner-tight and outer-relaxed.
