A unique set of H*Wind analyses of Atlantic tropical cyclones during the 2003-2005 seasons is studied to better understand the internal and external mechanisms that lead to significant variability in surface wind structure. Secondary eyewall formation, asymmetric convection, land interaction, and environmental vertical wind shear were generally found to

Abstract:

This thesis contains an observational analysis of the genesis of Tropical Storm Allison (2001). Using a paradigm of tropical cyclone formation as the superposition of potential vorticity (PV) anomalies, the importance of different scales of PV merger to various aspects of Allisons formation is discussed. While only the case of Allison is discussed in great detail, other studies have also documented PV superposition on various scales, and superposition could be important for most tropical cyclones. Preceding Allisons genesis, PV superposition on the large scale destabilized the atmosphere and

Relative vorticity fields calculated from the U. S.

The focus is on track turning motions to the left and right of the persistence track and on trying to accurately predict the point of the turn or recurvature in relation to the time

The climatology of overshooting convection in tropical cyclones (TCs) is examined using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR).

Convective systems in the inner core region are more capable of penetrating 14 km and the associated overshooting convection are featured with much stronger overshooting properties compared wit

Hurricane Matthew (2016) was a category 5 hurricane that interacted with remote terrain over northern South America in the early stages of its life cycle. Because tropical cyclone (TC) precipitation and convection are known to be crucial factors in the understanding and forecasting of TC intensity, this study investigates how this terrain impacted Hurricane Matthew's rainband structure. Remote terrain is hypothesized to play a role in the strength of TC rainband convection by modifying the thermodynamic environment such that subsiding dry air advects over an extremely moist ocean surface layer

The recent elevated North Atlantic hurricane activity has generated considerable interests in the interaction between tropical cyclones (TCs) and climate change.

Abstract:

The tropical cyclone (TC) and environmental interaction is not fully understood. Previous studies have demonstrated that this interaction affects intensity change. The studies found that intensification is favored in low shear, moist environments, with high sea surface temperatures (SST). However, little precise quantification was provided, especially in terms of the impact of environmental water vapor on TC intensity change. This work addresses the TC interaction with the environmental water vapor. Results from a comprehensive statistical study show that TC intensification is more likely to o
