The Wind‐Dependent Surface Drag Coefficient Contributes to the Secondary Eyewall Formation in Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study of Typhoon Gaemi (2024) by Hui Wang, Yuqing Wang, Hongxiong Xu, Dajun Zhao, Jia Liang, Tzu‐Hsiung Yen

“…We employ the Weather Research and Forecasting model with two different CD parameterizations and find that changing CD markedly affects boundary‐layer convergence and outer rainband evolution. In particular, the latest CD scheme with larger surface drag coefficient at wind speeds less than 45 m s−1 yields higher surface stress and stronger boundary‐layer convergence in the outer core, thereby enhancing rainband convection and triggering earlier formation of a more coherent secondary eyewall structure compared to the scheme with smaller, nearly constant CD at wind speeds greater than 45 m s−1. …”
