This study developed a model to investigate tropical cyclone (TC) surface-wind inflow angle asymmetry. The model has been applied to 130 spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images over a large variety of TCs. This model can detect the asymmetric surface-wind structure and the associated inflow angles, and other standard information such as center locations, symmetrical intensities, and radius of maximum wind speed.
