The Role of the Asymmetric Terms of the Divergence and Vorticity Equations in the Zero Laplacian Vortex,

Abstract

The generation of divergence and to a lesser extent vorticity are highly dependent upon the development of asymmetries in this model. Because of the laborious mathematical analysis, a numerical model should be parameterized using the asymmetries of this model to assess their contributions to the heat, momentum and water vapor budgets of the hurricane.
