Potential vorticity analysis of tropical cyclone intensification

Potential vorticity analysis of tropical cyclone intensification

The interaction of marginal Tropical Storm Danny (1995) with an upper-tropospheric positive potential vorticity anomaly was examined. The intensification mechanism proposed earlier for mature Hurricane Elena appears to be valid for Danny as well, despite significant differences in the synoptic-scale...

Zusammenfassung:The interaction of marginal Tropical Storm Danny (1995) with an upper-tropospheric positive potential vorticity anomaly was examined. The intensification mechanism proposed earlier for mature Hurricane Elena appears to be valid for Danny as well, despite significant differences in the synoptic-scale environment and in the stage of the tropical cyclone prior to the interaction.
