| Abstract | It has been demonstrated that the tornado-scale vortex (TSV) is one of the fine-scale structures associated with extreme updrafts in the tropical cyclone boundary layer (TCBL), but the relationship between surface wind gusts and TSVs is still unclear. In this study, the one-second model output simulated in the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model with the large eddy simulation (WRF-LES) is used to investigate the relationships between TSVs and surface wind gusts. Results show that surface wind gust factors in the regions where TSVs are prevalent are significantly larger than those in other regions. 88% of the maximum gust factors associated with TSVs (vertical velocity larger than 20 m s−1) are larger than 1.25 (gust factors larger than 1.25 account for only 1% of the 1-min gust factors in the TC inner core), and the mean maximum 1-min gust factor associated with a TSV is larger than 1.3, while the mean 1-min gust factor in the TC inner core is only 1.1. The surface gust factors associated with TSVs in tropical cyclone eyewall can reach about 1.8, which can cause severe surface wind hazards. This study suggests that potential risk will increase in the regions where TSVs are prevalent because of the large wind gusts and gust factors. Finer real-time observations are needed to monitor the evolution of TSVs for improving the operational TC-related surface gust warnings. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
