Abstract :
The effect of the buffer zone size (BZS) in regional climate model (RegCM3) on the track simulation of tropical cyclone (TC) of Winnie (1997) is investigated. The results show that there is an inevitable simulation error in the track of Winnie, and the narrower buffer zone size will make a great error. However, it was demonstrated that a much broader BZS does not allow a better track simulation of Winnie, and the optimal BZS does not reduce the track error substantially.
