Relationships between convective asymmetry, imbalance and intensity in numerically simulated tropical cyclones

This article examines the relationships between convective asymmetry (CA), imbalance and intensity in tropical cyclones (TCs) that emerge from random winds on the periodic f-plane in a cloud-system-resolving numerical model. The model is configured with warm-rain microphysics and includes a basic pa...
