Abstract: Tropical cyclones and dynamically similar model vortices robustly maintain a near-axisymmetric horizontal structure where the vortex flow is strongly nonlinear in spite of persistent asymmetric forcing represented by ...

Abstract: Theories of vortex motion due to the variations of the Coriolis parameter and environmental vorticity are compared to observations of tropical cyclone motion relative to computed ?steering flows? using previously published ...

Abstract: The possible relationship between northwestward-propagating wave disturbances and tropical cyclones over the tropical western North Pacific during summer is studied using data assimilated by the navy's global model during ...
