Relationship between potential vorticity tendency and tropical cyclone motion

Chan et al propose a consistent conceptual framework to explain tropical cyclone motion based on the concept of potential vorticity tendency and to verify the framework based on analyses of different observations. An integration of analysis verifies the validity of the proposed conceptual framework,...

Description
Summary:Chan et al propose a consistent conceptual framework to explain tropical cyclone motion based on the concept of potential vorticity tendency and to verify the framework based on analyses of different observations. An integration of analysis verifies the validity of the proposed conceptual framework, which appears to explain most types of tropical cyclone motion.
