  2. Project Stormfury - Wikipedia

    Other observations in Hurricanes Anita, David, Frederic, and Allen [31] also discovered that tropical cyclones have very little supercooled water and a great deal of ice crystals. [32] The reason that tropical cyclones have little supercooled water is that the updrafts within such a system are too weak to prevent water from either falling as ...

    The various sensitivity runs were focused on the effects of ice processes. They report that the tropical cyclones exhibit a large sensitivity in the intensity and core structures to ice phase processes. As the ice processes are removed, the intensity of the cyclone decreases without the Bergeron process.

  4. Tropical cyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_cyclone

    A tropical cyclone is the generic term for a warm-cored, non-frontal synoptic-scale low-pressure system over tropical or subtropical waters around the world. [4] [5] The systems generally have a well-defined center which is surrounded by deep atmospheric convection and a closed wind circulation at the surface. [4]

    The Non-tropical storms task force coordinates most of Wikipedia's coverage on extratropical cyclones, which tropical cyclones often transition into near the end of their lifespan. The Floods task force takes on the scope of flooding events all over the world, with rainfall from tropical cyclones a significant factor in many of them.

  6. Cyclogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclogenesis

    Although the formation of tropical cyclones is the topic of extensive ongoing research and is still not fully understood, there are six main requirements for tropical cyclogenesis: sea surface temperatures that are warm enough, atmospheric instability, high humidity in lower to middle levels of the troposphere, enough Coriolis force to develop ...

    Post-tropical cyclones, such as remnant lows, no longer possess tropical quantities through either unfavorable conditions (e.g. increased wind shear) or land interaction. Pacific hurricane – a tropical cyclone that forms west of 100°W to the International Date Line in the Northern Hemisphere. The National Hurricane Center is responsible for ...

    Common developmental patterns seen during tropical cyclone development, and their Dvorak-assigned intensities. The Dvorak technique (developed between 1969 and 1984 by Vernon Dvorak) is a widely used system to estimate tropical cyclone intensity (which includes tropical depression, tropical storm, and hurricane/typhoon/intense tropical cyclone intensities) based solely on visible and infrared ...
