An Examination of Tropical Cyclone Evolution Using Curvature Vorticity and Shear Vorticity

Curvature vorticity and shear vorticity are examined in an attempt to elucidate the physical mechanisms behind tropical cyclone (TC) intensity change. A particular emphasis is placed on the role of the shear to curvature vorticity conversion term throughout this study. Curvature vorticity and shear...
