Dynamical Control of Rapid Tropical Cyclone Intensification by Environmental Shears

Abstract

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