Tropical Cyclone Structure and Intensity Change
Abstract
The long-term goals of our research are to understand the interactions between tropical cyclones and their surroundings, and how such interactions influence tropical cyclone structure and intensity change. During the two-year proposal, this work had two primary objectives: (i) to understand the interactions of upper tropospheric potential vorticity centers and tropical cyclones and the intensity changes that occur during such interactions; and (ii) to study the larger scale influences on the generation of tropical cyclones in the eastern and western Pacific Oceans. The first of these is an extension of previous work under ONR support, while the second is a newer initiative, particularly the western Pacific studies.
