Abstract: AbstractExtratropical transition (ET) of tropical cyclones involves distinct changes of the cyclone?s structure that are not yet well understood. This study presents for the first time a comprehensive Lagrangian description ...

Abstract: Major airstreams in tropical cyclones (TCs) are rarely described from a Lagrangian perspective. Such a perspective, however, is required to account for asymmetries and time dependence of the TC circulation. We present a ...
