Intense tropical cyclones (TCs) often experience secondary eyewall formations and the ensuing eyewall replacement cycles. Better understanding of the underlying dynamics is crucial to make improvements to the TC intensity and structure forecasting. R

Radar imagery of some double-eyewall tropical cyclones shows that the inner eyewalls became elliptical prior to their dissipation during the eyewall replacement cycles, indicating that the barotropic instability (BI) across the moat (also known as ty

A cloud-resolving model is used to examine the virtually shear-free evolution of incipient tropical cyclones initialized with different degrees of misalignment between the lower- and middle-tropospheric centers of rotation. Increasing the initial dis

Radar imagery of some double-eyewall tropical cyclones shows that the inner eyewalls become elliptical prior to their dissipation. These elliptical features indicate that the barotropic instability (BI) across the moat (aka, type-2 BI) may play a rol

Latent heat release from condensational heating has been recognized as one of the dominating energy sources of a tropical cyclone. Here we argue that other microphysical processes may also play an important role. From an analysis of a real-case simul

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 intensit

It is known that concentric eyewalls can influence tropical cyclone (TC) intensity. However, they can also influence TC track. Observations indicate that TCs with concentric eyewalls are often accompanied by wobbling of the inner eyewall, a motion th

This study examines the influences of an axisymmetric heat source on the tangential wind structure of a tropical cyclone (TC). Specifically, the response of a TC due to the effect of convection located in varying inertial stability profiles was calcu

A method is outlined for quantitatively assessing the impact of inertia–gravity wave radiation on the multimechanistic instability modes of a columnar stratified vortex that resembles an intense tropical cyclone. The method begins by decomposing th

Intense atmospheric vortices such as tropical cyclones experience various asymmetric instabilities during their life cycles. This study investigates how vortex properties and ambient conditions determine the relative importance of different mechanism
