Data assimilation is the process of statistically combining the latest observations with a model background to obtain the best estimate of the atmosphere in a region of interest and at a specified time. In and around the inner-core region of a tropical cyclone, this becomes especially challenging due to several factors. First, there exist multiple […]

Accurately forecasting whether and when a tropical cyclone (TC) will undergo rapid intensification is challenging. This study shows for the first time that knowing how quickly the wind speed of the TC circulation, or vortex, decays with height helps predict rapid intensification. Figure 1. (a) Tangential wind-speed (Vt or wind swirling around the TC center) […]
