Evolution of tropical storm systems in a high resolution climate model [TOOCAN-DYAMOND-SAM] (courtesy Benjamin Fildier)
Background colors are atmospheric humidity ; patches are individual storms (mesoscale convective systems, MCS). The time frame is the last 22 days of the simulation.
Data used:
– The simulation is part of the DYAMOND-summer project https://www.esiwace.eu/services/dyamo…
– with global storm-resolving model SAM http://rossby.msrc.sunysb.edu/~marat/…
– The lagrangian detection was performed with the TOOCAN algorithm https://toocan.ipsl.fr/
