Possible Environmental Influence on Eyewall Expansion During the Rapid Intensification of Hurricane Helene (2006)

Tropical cyclone (TC) rapid intensification (RI) is usually accompanied by a rapid eyewall contraction, followed by a slow contraction, and then a nearly steady eyewall. However, this study shows that Hurricane Helene (2006) exhibited an eyewall expansion during its 30-h rapid intensification period...
