Abstract
By using a two-dimensional axisymmetrical PEM in which two physical processes (the Ekman pumping and the vertical transportation of cumulus momentum) are included, the genesis and development of typhoons have been simulated. The results of numerical simulation show that the generation and structure of the typhoon simulated by the model involving both the physical processes are much close to a real one in the atmosphere as compared with that involving either the Ekman pumping or the cumulus momentum transport. Therefore, it can be suggested that the cumulus momentum transport and Ekman pumping together play an important role in the genesis and development of typhoons through the CISK mechanism.
