Abstract: A tropical cyclone (TC) size parameter, which is defined here as the radius of 15 m s?1 near-surface wind speed (R15), is calculated for 145 TCs in the western North Pacific during 2000?05 based on QuikSCAT oceanic winds. ...

Abstract: AbstractIn this study, a vortex-based Doppler velocity dealiasing (VDVD) algorithm for tropical cyclones (TCs) is proposed. The algorithm uses a Rankine combined vortex model as a reference field for dealiasing based on ...

Abstract: As Typhoon Goni (2015) passed over Ishigaki Island, a maximum gust speed of 71 m s−1 was observed by a surface weather station. During Typhoon Goni’s passage, mountaintop radar recorded antenna elevation angle oscillations, ...
