A numerical model study about the impacts of dry air on tropical cyclone formation
The impacts of dry air on tropical cyclone formation are examined in the numerical model simulations of ex-Gaston (2010) and pre-Fay (2008). The former can be regarded as a non-developing system as it failed to redevelop after being downgraded into a remnant low, and the latter developed into a …

Atlantic tropical cyclone formation: Pre-genesis evolution of tropical easterly waves and impacts of the middle to upper tropospheric dry air
… of the dynamic and thermodynamic evolution of tropical easterly waves (TEWs) for 164 named tropical storms over the Atlantic during 1989-2010 July-October. The evolution of precipitation and the low-level convergence suggests that convection begins to organize near the center of the wave …

Investigation of the positive interaction between the primary and secondary circulation and the roles of different types of precipitation in tropical cyclone formation
Our understanding of tropical cyclogenesis, one of the greatest mysteries in tropical meteorology, has advanced significantly in the past few decades, partly owing to the availability of satellite data and high-resolution numerical model simulations. This research investigates the coupling among …

Sea Surface Temperatures and Vertical Wind Shear as Precursors to Tropical Cyclone Activity in the Caribbean and an Expanding Main Developing Region
… and vertical wind shear are essential to tropical cyclone formation. TCs need warm SSTs and low shear for genesis. Increasing SSTs and VWS changes influence storm development. This work analyzes SST and VWS trends for the Caribbean, surrounding region, and the Atlantic hurricane main …
