Abstract: eather has long been projected to possess limited predictability due to the inherent chaotic nature of the atmosphere; small changes in initial conditions could lead to an entirely different state of the atmosphere after ...

Abstract: In this study, a series of sensitivity simulations is performed to examine the processes leading to the genesis of Tropical Storm Eugene (2005) from merging vortices associated with the breakdowns of the intertropical ...

Abstract: In this study, the roles of merging midlevel mesoscale convective vortices (MCVs) and convectively generated potential vorticity (PV) patches embedded in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in determining tropical ...

Abstract: Although the forced secondary circulations (FSCs) associated with hurricane-like vortices have been previously examined, understanding is still limited to idealized, axisymmetric flows and forcing functions. In this study, ...

Abstract: Although tropical cyclogenesis occurs over all tropical warm ocean basins, the eastern Pacific appears to have the highest frequency of tropical cyclogenesis events per unit area. In this study, tropical cyclogenesis from ...

Abstract: This study examines the role of frictional feedback in the atmospheric boundary layer during tropical cyclone (TC) development. Using a reduced model of TC dynamics, it is shown that a feedback between frictional convergence ...

Abstract: In this study, a piecewise potential vorticity (PV) inversion algorithm for an arbitrary number of PV pieces is developed by extending Wang and Zhang?s PV inversion scheme, and then the nonlinear responses to various types ...

Abstract: his study examines the formation of a double warm-core (DWC) structure in intense tropical cyclones (TCs) that was captured in almost all supertyphoon cases during the 2012?14 real-time typhoon forecasts in the northwestern ...

Abstract: In this study, the dynamical constraints underlining the pressure?wind relationship (PWR) for intense tropical cyclones (TCs) are examined with the particular focus on the physical connections between the maximum surface ...

Abstract: This study examines the variability of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity associated with stochastic forcings at the maximum potential intensity (PI) equilibrium. By representing TC intensity as an Itô diffusion process in ...
