Explicit Modeling of the Inner-Core Cloud and Flow Structures of Hurricanes

Abstract

Improve the prediction of hurricane track, intensity and intensity change 3-5 days in advance; and provide a better understanding of the fundamental processes taking place in tropical cyclones from its genesis to hurricane and landfalling stages, including the inner-core clouds/precipitation and catastrophic winds.
