Tropical Cyclogenesis Initiated by Lee Vortices and Mesoscale Convective Complexes in East Africa
Abstract
To understand the precursors of Atlantic tropical cyclones; the formation of a mesovortex (MV), a mesoscale convective complex (MCC), and African Easterly Waves (AEW) to the lee of the Ethiopian Highlands; the propagation of a MV and MCC, along with the evolution of the AEWs, across the African continent; and the contributing effects of these entities in the development of tropical cyclones over the eastern Atlantic Ocean.
