Sea, sun, and shear : a recipe for precipitating convection, tropical rainbands, and hurricane spiral arms
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, 1996.

Extreme rainfall intensities and long-term rainfall risk from tropical cyclones
… (from storm to storm) and small scales (due to rainbands and local convection) is modeled statistically. The statistical component is estimated using precipitation radar (PR) data from the TRMM mission. Taylor's hypothesis is used to convert spatial rainfall intensity fluctuations to temporal …

Multi-scale interactions leading to tropical cyclogenesis in sheared environments
… in the southwest quadrant. Some monsoon tail rainbands sustain convective organization even after they separated from the pre-existing TCs, but despite the enhanced convective activity, the persistent VWS that produced the rainbands was an overriding negative factor that inhibits genesis. This …

Evaluating the Role of Atmospheric Stability in Generating Asymmetrical Precipitation During the Landfall of Hurricane Florence (2018)
… storm motion during landfall, causing convective rainbands to produce high amounts of precipitation along the coast of North Carolina. This study focuses on the relationship between precipitation asymmetries and atmospheric stability surrounding the tropical cyclone (TC) during the landfall period …

Study on the Intensity and Track Prediction of Typhoon Yagi (2024) Based on Ensemble Kalman Filter Assimilation of Satellite and Radar Data
… clearer rotational structures and spiral rainbands, and better agreement with observations. During the initial rapid intensification stage (RI1), satellite brightness temperature assimilation markedly improves the representation of typhoon cloud and convective structures. During the RI2 …

Convective Dynamics of the Tropical Atmosphere in Three Idealized Approaches
… convective complexes, heat lows, and the rainbands of the Intertropical Convergence Zone are all examples of such large-scale convective organization, but despite their relevance for human life and ecosystems, the mechanisms that govern their formation and many of their characteristics are …

Regional Differences in the Spatial Patterns of Precipitation Bands in Hurricanes Through Landfall along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Coasts of the United States
Evolutionary periods of precipitation distribution in tropical cyclones (TCs) are sometimes misrepresented in numerical weather prediction models due to the rapid nature of TC structure changes that accompany intensity change. To better understand quantitative changes in TC rainband structure …

“If it happened in…” a pseudo-global warming assessment of tropical cyclone tornadoes
… structure in terms of its shape and primary rainbands. TC tornado surrogates (TCTSs) were identified and calibrated using thresholds based on percentile values of maximum updraft helicity (UHmax) and simulated radar reflectivity. Although the magnitude of UHmax generally decreased as the …
