摘要
A recent observational analysis has reported significant repeating diurnal signals propagating outward at cloud-top height from tropical cyclone centers. Modeling studies suggest that the visible upper-level impacts reflect a diurnal cycle through the depth of the troposphere. In this study, the possibility of wavelike diurnal responses in tropical cyclones is characterized using 3D cloud-resolving numerical simulations with and without a diurnal cycle. Diurnal waves can only begin to propagate well beyond the storm core, and the outflow region is most receptive to near-core diurnal propagation because of its anticyclonic flow. The tropical cyclone structure appears particularly hostile to diurnal wave propagation during periods when the eyewall experiences a temporary breakdown similar to an eyewall replacement cycle.
