The effect of vertical shear on tropical cyclone intensity change

The effect of vertical shear on tropical cyclone intensity change is ususally explained in terms of "ventilation" where heat and moisture at upper levels are advected away from the low-level circulation, which inhibits development. A simple two-layer diagnostic balance model is used to pro...

Description
Summary:The effect of vertical shear on tropical cyclone intensity change is ususally explained in terms of "ventilation" where heat and moisture at upper levels are advected away from the low-level circulation, which inhibits development. A simple two-layer diagnostic balance model is used to provide an alternate explanation of the effect of shear.
