Abstract: Advanced tropical cyclone models of sufficiently fine resolution are capable of representing important internal structure of the vortex. In the model, a vortex should interact with ocean and land in a realistic manner. Interaction with the ocean can significantly moderate the storm intensity. Inclusion of the heat budget of the soil layer retards the storm intensity over land. How to improve the treatment of deep convection is an issue which is wide open for future study. Specification of a realistic, yet model-adapted vortex in the initial condition of the model is essential for improvement of tropical cyclone track and intensity prediction.
