Remotely Sensed Tropical Cyclone Structure/Intensity Changes

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand the structure and evolution of tropical cyclones, such that Navy estimates of location and intensity are highly accurate and successfully impact medium/short-term decision-making. Our objective is to accurately map the structure of tropical cyclones throughout their lifetime and better understand the temporal changes under all-weather conditions. Accurate knowledge of the storm s structure will enable enhanced knowledge of storm location and intensity in near real-time.
