Hurricane Model
Updated April 1998: Now produces output for MATLAB and other graphics applications
This is a simple, balanced model that runs quickly on most machines, including PC's. One may select output in the form of NCAR graphics or text files readable by MATLAB and other graphics packages. There is also a Windows version that generates graphic images on the screen.
Sample output fields (using commercial graphics software) :
Equivalent potential temperature
Vertical velocity during concentric eyewall replacement cycle
Download FORTRAN codes for "Atmospheric Convection"
FORTRAN subroutine "convect" and documentation
Version 4.3c Available as of 15 May 2002...contains several improvements
This scheme includes options for cumulus momentum and tracer transfers
