The assimilation of ocean surface winds reduces the root mean square error in zonal and meridional winds between analysis and observation by 2-3 ms -1 (42%).• Assimilation of ocean surface winds improves the intensity simulation of the tropical cyclone.• During the intensification of the cyclone, the wind speed enhancement is dominant over the southeast and northwest sectors of the eyewall regions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
