Tropical Cyclone Genesis, Intensification and Structure
Abstract
Current models for prediction of storm intensity and direction, while improving, have not proven to be as accurate as needed by the civilian and military meteorology community. Smith has offered a new paradigm for intensification that takes into account the intrinsic role of rotating deep convection in the intensification process. This proposal is to carry out calculations to develop and extend new intensification paradigms to environments with a prescribed basic flow and to investigate hitherto unexplored aspects of the earlier calculations such as the evolution of inflow jets that sandwich the upper level outflow layer.
