An Index to Better Estimate Tropical Cyclone Intensity Change in the Western North Pacific

Abstract A revised predictor called the net energy gain rate (NGR) is suggested by considering wind‐dependent drag coefficient based on the existing maximum potential intensity theory. A series of wind speed‐dependent NGR, known as NGR‐w, is calculated based on pretropical cyclone (TC) averaged ocea...
