Dynamical Studies in Hurricane Intensity Change and Hurricane Motion

Abstract

The long term goals and objectives of this research are to develop a physical understanding of tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change processes and the motion of a three-dimensional hurricane vortex. Towards these goals, this years work focused in three main areas: barotropic hurricane motion, the impact of convective asymmetries on TC intensity changes, and swirling boundary layers. The following pages summarize pertinent milestones in each area.
