This paper points to the numerous questions that need answering regarding the relationship of TC dynamics to various aspects of the technique. These would include Do the constraints in the Dvorak Technique have an underlying physical reality? and many variations on Why do certain cloud patterns correspond to specific TC intensities? Another important question is What is the relationship between three-dimensional TC structure/dynamics and the various Dvorak Technique cloud patterns? Answering these and other questions will help link the abundant research done on TC structure and evolution to the operational tasks of TC intensity and structural analysis, and this should lead to improvements in the Dvorak Technique. These answers would also pave the way for updated versions of the Dvorak Technique based on more modern types of satellite data.
