Abstract: he downshear reformation of Tropical Storm Gabrielle (2001) was simulated at 1-km horizontal resolution using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model. The environmental shear tilted the initial parent vortex ...

Abstract: urricane Irene (1999) rapidly intensified from 65 to 95 kt (~33.4 to 48.9 m s?1) in 18 h. During the rapid intensification (RI) period, the northeastward storm motion increased from 10 to 18 m s?1, the ambient southwesterly ...

Abstract: dentifying the center of a tropical cyclone in a high-resolution model simulation has a number of operational and research applications, including constructing a track, calculating azimuthal means and perturbations, and ...

Abstract: emporal trends in precipitation associated with 500-hPa low pressure systems are assessed for consistency with overall precipitation trends in the northeastern United States. Increases in precipitation associated with ...

Abstract: AbstractPrior studies have shown an association between symmetrically distributed precipitation and tropical cyclone (TC) intensification. Although environmental vertical wind shear typically forces an asymmetric precipitation ...
