Study on how the direction of wind shear impacts tropical cyclone intensity published in Monthly Weather Review
This is the first study to examine how the direction of the wind shear changes how much heat and moisture is available to the TC and how it influences TC intensity change. These results provide TC forecasters another tool to predict intensity change. ■ Summary: The amount of wind shear, the change of winds with … Continue reading Study on how the direction of wind shear impacts tropical cyclone intensity published in Monthly Weather Review
