Sensitivity analysis of drag coefficient and length scale of wind influence on tropical cyclone intensity change using net energy gain rate

Predicting tropical cyclones (TC) rapid intensification (RI) is one of the most significant challenges. This study refines the Net Energy Gain Rate (NGR) metric to improve TC intensity predictions, focusing on uncertainties in the drag coefficient (Cd​) at extreme wind speeds and the effective lengt...
