    Abstract

    The effects of full coriolis force on simulated structure and motion of tropical cyclone (TC) was investigated. The integration of barotropic model gave a positive geopotential height anomoly to the north. The relative vorticity and divergence anomaly distribution were found to be opposite. The geopotential height and relative vorticity distributions dominates in baroclinic model experiment. The effect of Coriolis force included a complex structure with a wavenumber one distribution of the anaomaly fields, intensified structure in the southeastern section in the outer areas and a southwestward displacement.
