摘      要：This study explores the effect of the initial axisymmetric wind structure and moisture on the predictability of the peak intensity of Typhoon Lekima(2019)through a 20-member ensemble forecast using the WRF *** ensemble members are separated into Strong and Weak groups according to the maximum 10-m wind speed at 48 *** our study of Lekima(2019),the initial intensity defined by maximum 10-m wind speed is not a good predictor of the intensity *** peak intensity uncertainty is sensitive to the initial primary circulation outside the radius of maximum wind(RMW)and the initial secondary *** greater absolute angular momentum(AAM)beyond the RMW directly related to stronger primary circulation,and stronger radial inflow,Strong group is found to have larger AAM import in lowlevel,helping to spin up the *** moisture in innercore is also critical to the intensity predictability through the development of inner-core *** aggregation and merger of convection,leading to the TC intensification,is influenced by both radial advection and gradient of system-scale vortex *** sensitivity experiments are conducted to study the effect of model uncertainty in terms of model horizontal grid resolution on intensity *** horizontal grid resolution greatly impacts the predictability of Lekima’s intensity,and the finer resolution is helpful to simulate the intensification and capture the observed peak value.
