RISConvective-Scale Variations in the Inner-Core Rainbands of a Tropical Cyclone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: irborne Doppler radar documented a variety of convective-scale structures within the inner-core rainbands of Hurricane Rita (2005). As predicted by past studies, wind shear determined azimuthal variations in the convection. ...
Dynamics of the Stratiform Sector of a Tropical Cyclone Rainband
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: irborne Doppler radar documented the stratiform sector of a rainband within the stationary rainband complex of Hurricane Rita. The stratiform rainband sector is a mesoscale feature consisting of nearly uniform precipitation ...
A Vortex-Based Perspective of Eastern Pacific Tropical Cyclone Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Tropical cyclone formation over the eastern Pacific during 2005 and 2006 was examined using primarily global operational analyses from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction. This paper represents a ?vortex view? ...
Examining Polarimetric Radar Observations of Bulk Microphysical Structures and Their Relation to Vortex Kinematics in Hurricane Arthur (2014)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDual-polarization radar observations were taken of Hurricane Arthur prior to and during landfall, providing needed insight into the microphysics of tropical cyclone precipitation. A total of 30 h of data were ...
Convective-Scale Downdrafts in the Principal Rainband of Hurricane Katrina (2005)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne Doppler radar data collected during the Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment (RAINEX) document downdrafts in the principal rainband of Hurricane Katrina (2005). Inner-edge downdrafts (IEDs) originating ...
Impact of Stratiform Rainband Heating on the Tropical Cyclone Wind Field in Idealized Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUsing idealized simulations, we examine the storm-scale wind field response of a dry, hurricane-like vortex to prescribed stratiform heating profiles that mimic tropical cyclone (TC) spiral rainbands. These profiles ...
Kinematics of the Secondary Eyewall Observed in Hurricane Rita (2005)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: irborne Doppler radar data collected from the concentric eyewalls of Hurricane Rita (2005) provide detailed three-dimensional kinematic observations of the secondary eyewall feature. The secondary eyewall radar echo shows ...
Asymmetries during Eyewall Replacement Cycles of Hurricane Ivan (2004)

The Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Karl (2010): New Remote Sensing Observations of Convective Bursts from the Global Hawk Platform
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he evolution of rapidly intensifying Hurricane Karl (2010) is examined from a suite of remote sensing observations during the NASA Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) field experiment. The novelties of this ...
Velocity–Azimuth Display Analysis of Doppler Velocity for HIWRAP
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he velocity?azimuth display (VAD) analysis technique established for ground-based scanning radar is applied to the NASA High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP). The VAD technique provides a mean ...
