12th Conference on Mesoscale Processes

4.1

Some fundamental aspects of hurricane dynamics

Michael T. Montgomery, NPS, Monterey, CA

This talk will summarize some recent and ongoing research examining the role of coherent wave and vortex structures in the formation, intensification and mature evolution of hurricanes. Some implications of this research to deterministic forecasts of the mesoscale structure of tropical cyclones will be discussed.
