A Numerical Study of the Global Formation of Tropical Cyclones

Abstract This study examines the large‐scale factors that govern global tropical cyclone (TC) formation and an upper bound on the annual number of TCs. Using idealized simulations for an aquaplanet tropical channel, it is shown that the tropical atmosphere has a maximum capacity in generating TCs, e...
