SIMULATION AND PREDICTION OF HURRICANE LILI DURING LANDFALL OVER THE CENTRAL GULF STATES USING MM5 MODELING SYSTEM

Abstract- A mesoscale modeling investigation of tropical cyclone/hurricane forecast over the Gulf of Mexico has been established under the NASA/HBCU Renewable Energy and Technology Project to adopt the numerical weather prediction model for possible use in regions where solar equipment will be used. Accurate and reliable forecasting is crucial in regions that have limited resources where renewable solar energy can be utilized. Devices such as solar cookers and solar Stirling engines can be effectively operated under adequate sunlight in converting solar energy to cook food. The study also involves in understanding the structure and dynamics of lanfalling tropical cyclones over the Gulf coas
