Abstract: yewall replacements in mature tropical cyclones usually cause intensity fluctuations. One reason for eyewall replacements remaining a forecasting challenge is the lack of understanding of how secondary eyewalls form. This ...

Abstract: apid intensification (RI) of tropical cyclones (TCs) remains one of the most challenging issues in TC prediction. This study investigates the predictability of RI, the uncertainty in predicting RI timing, and the dynamical ...

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to understand the genesis of extratropical convective mesovortices and the large-scale environmental features that influence the vortex formation. A hypothesis is proposed that mesovortices ...

Abstract: t is widely accepted that air?sea interaction is one of the key factors in controlling tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. However, the physical mechanisms for connecting the upper ocean and air?sea interface with storm ...

Abstract: he development of a compact warm core extending from the mid-upper levels to the lower troposphere and related surface pressure falls leading to tropical cyclogenesis (TC genesis) is not well understood. This study documents ...
