  • In the context of a non-hydrostatic axisymmetric compressible numerical model,the concentric double eyewall structure of the typhoon was replicated well to discuss the formation mechanism of concentric eyewall with the aid of gradient wind adjustment.Evidence suggests that in the weakening phase of the typhoon,the heterogeneous radial distribution of the sensible and convective latent heating over the sea surface will induce the gradient wind unbalance accompanied by mutual gradient wind adjustment between the thermodynamic field and dynamic fields,which results in a two-peak tangential wind and concentric double eyewall structure.
