The Influence of Mesoscale Sea Surface Temperature Gradients on Tropical Cyclones

The effects of mesoscale (50-1000km) sea surface temperature (SST) variability on tropical cyclones (TCs) are investigated with model simulations of an idealized TC as well as simulations of Hurricane Igor (2010) using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Mesoscale SST gradient...
