A Multiscale Study of Tropical Cyclone Formation, Structure Change, and Predictability in the Western North Pacific Region and TCS08 Experiment Support

Abstract

The overarching objectives of this research project are to obtain an improved understanding of the formation, predictability and structure change of tropical cyclones in the Western Pacific region. During the first year of this project fruitful applied research has been completed in support of the Tropicala Cyclone Structure 2008 (TCS08) field campaign. Due to space limitations, only one of our ongoing research projects on TCS08 will be summarized here.
