Abstract

The effects of vertical wind shear on the formation of Hurricane Gabrielle (2001) were discussed. A control run and two sensitivity experiments were performed to examine Gabrielle's formation. The first sensitivity experiment removed the initial disturbance while the second sensitivity experiment lessened the vertical wind shear in the initial conditions in the vicinity of the developing storm. It was found that Gabrielle's formation was affected by reducing the vertical wind shear.
