Synoptic-Scale Precursors to Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification in the Atlantic Basin

Forecasting rapid intensification (hereafter referred to as RI) of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Basin is still a challenge due to a limited understanding of the meteorological processes that are necessary for predicting RI. To address this challenge, this study considered large-scale processes...
