Dynamical Control of Rapid Tropical Cyclone Intensification by Environmental Shears

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project is to advance our understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of formation and explosive intensification of tropical cyclones (TCs). Of particular interests are the roles and interactions of the environmental shears and TC internal dynamical processes in changing TC intensity and TC formation.
