Spontaneous Emission of Spiral Inertia–Gravity Waves and Formation of Elliptical Eyewalls in Tropical Cyclone–Like Vortices: Three-Dimensional Nonlinear Simulations

Although intense tropical cyclones (TCs) are considered to be axisymmetric vortices, observations reveal that they are often highly asymmetric. Better understanding of the underlying asymmetric dynamics is a critical step toward advancing TC intensity forecasting. In this paper, we revisit the mecha...
