Abstract: This is the second of a two-part study which uses a combination of composite rawinsonde and individual FGGE case analyses to identify the important physical processes associated with tropical cyclone formation. Part I ...

Abstract: This paper is the first of a two-part series summarizing recent attempts to advance omit understanding of the physical processes associated with tropical cyclone formation in the western North Pacific. A combination of ...

Abstract: The net influence of subgrid scale processes on the tangential momentum field in tropical cyclones is calculated as a residual of the grid-scale momentum budget for eight rawinsonde composite data sets. Results show that ...

Abstract: his study examines tropical cyclone (TC) formations in the South China Sea (SCS) associated with the strong northeasterly monsoon during the late season. Results show that the percentage of all vortices that develop to TC ...

Abstract: In this paper, a successful eye-penetration reconnaissance flight by an unmanned aerial vehicle, Aerosonde, into Typhoon Longwang (2005) and the preliminary analyses of the collected data are presented. The 10-h flight is ...

Abstract: This study examines the 119 tropical cyclone (TC) formations in the South China Sea (SCS) during 1972?2002, and in particular the 20 in May and June. Eleven of these storms are associated with the weak baroclinic environment ...

Abstract: This paper presents an observational and numerical study of Typhoon Mindulle (2004) as it affected Taiwan. Mindulle made landfall on the east coast of Taiwan at 1500 UTC 1 July 2004, and after 13 h, it exited Taiwan from ...

Abstract: A total of 40 out of 531 tropical cyclones that formed in the western North Pacific during 1986?2005 have accompanied trade wind surges located 5°?15° latitude to the north of the pretropical cyclone disturbance centers. ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the meteorological conditions associated with tropical cyclone formation in the north Indian Ocean during the 1979 FGGE year. Seven developing systems are composited together using FUGE Ill-b analyses ...

Abstract: uter mesoscale convective systems (OMCSs) are long-lasting, heavy rainfall events separate from the inner-core rainfall that have previously been shown to occur in 22% of western North Pacific tropical cyclones (TCs). ...
