Outer Vortex Wind Structure Changes During and Following Tropical Cyclone Secondary Eyewall Formation

ABSTRACT: Some recent studies have utilized flight-level (700 mb) winds to document the maximum wind speeds (Vmax) and radius of Vmax (Rmax) of the original and secondary eyewalls during 24 Atlantic hurricane eyewall replacement cycles (ERC). In this study, Hurricane Wind (H*Wind) analyses of Atlant...
