Influences of Asymmetric Flow Features on Hurricane Evolution

Abstract

It is now recognized that asymmetric processes have a significant impact on the evolution of a symmetric hurricane vortex; the factors that determine the degree to which these processes create changes in hurricane structure and intensity are nevertheless not well understood. Our diagnosis will isolate these factors, especially those leading to rapid deepening.
