The super cyclone that crossed Orissa coast on 29 October 1999 was the most intense storm in the history of Orissa with 12 coastal districts of the state were battered by winds reaching 250 kmph. The fury of winds continued for more than 36 hours after landfall of the storm. The storm caused huge damage to properties and nearly 10,000 people lost their lives. In the present study, extensive numerical experiments are conducted to investigate some important aspects that may lead to the improvement in mesoscale simulation of the storm. The aspects that are addressed here include non-hydrostatic dynamics, model horizontal resolution and parameterization of important physical processes. The mesoscale model MM5 is used to produce 5-day simulation of the storm.
The influence of non-hydrostaticity is investigated by simulating the storm with hydrostatic (HS) and non-hydrostatic (NS) dynamics at same resolution (30 km) and with same time step. The storm, in particular its intensity is better simulated with non-hydrostatic dynamics. The importance of increasing model horizontal resolution is investigated by simulating the storm at 90 km, 60 km and 30 km resolutions with non-hydrostatic dynamics and found to have perceptible impact in simulation of the storm.
Numerical experiments also are conducted to find the best possible combination of the parameterization schemes available in the model for the important physical processes cumulus convection, planetary boundary layer (PBL) and radiation. The combination of Grell cumulus convection and Hong-Pan PBL scheme along with CCM2 radiation parameterization scheme is found to provide the best result compared to the other schemes tested.
