Signature of Large Aspect Ratio Roll Vortices in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images of Tropical Cyclones
Synthetic aperture radar images of tropical cyclones have been processed into high-resolution surface wind vector fields. Examination of the surface wind divergence and wind stress curl show that wind-aligned, O(10 km) wavelength, banded features are present throughout the images. These signatures a...
