Tropical Cyclogenesis Initiated by Lee Vortices and Mesoscale Convective Complexes in East Africa

Abstract

The long-term goal is to understand the generation of precursors of tropical cyclones, which form over the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the formation of a vortex and MCC to the lee of the Ethiopian Highlands, the propagation of the vortex and MCC across the African continent, and the initiation of tropical cyclones over the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
