A Bogus Typhoon Scheme and Its Application to a Movable Nested Mesh Model

A bogus typhoon scheme, designed for the initialization of a typhoon track prediction model, is developed in this paper. This scheme includes both effects of axisymmetric wind and asymmetric wind. Experimental forecasts using a two-way interactive movable nested mesh model show that the forecast skill of typhoon tracks has clearly improved after introducing the bogus typhoon into the initial fields
