“…This form is very similar to that inferred from hurricane wind observations using the ageostrophic method by Miler (1964) (and see also Powell, 1980). In these cases the wind speed dependence of Cd is important inasmuch as the calculated Cd at the largest wind speeds, 35 m S-I, is about 2.7 x 10-3, or roughly twice the usual low wind speed value.…”

“…Genesis also requires other favorable conditions to be present. A number of authors (Riehl, 1954(Riehl, , and much personal communication, 1957(Riehl, -1962Fisher, 1958;Malkus and Riehl, 1960;Miller, 1964;Leipper, 1967;Perlroth, 1967Perlroth, , 1969Leipper and Volgenau, 1972) have previously discussed the very important role which sea-surface temperature and high magnitude ocean thermal energy play in tropical cyclone existance. The necessary role of thermal buoyancy from the surface to middle levels for Cb convection has been discussed by Palmen (1948Palmen ( , 1957) and a number of other researchers.…”

The author has recently completed a global analysis of tropical cyclone genesis (Gray, 1975a). This paper applies the results of that study to a more detailed analysis of tropical cycline genesis in the western North Pacific and of the variation in the seasonal climatology of genesis location and frequency.The first part of this paper presents statistical information on the seasonal frequency of tropical cyclone genesis and discusses the major physical requirements of genesis. The second part of this paper shows how these hypothesized genesis requirements are specified by the product of six seasonally averaged meteorological parameters.The last part of this paper shows how well the product of these seasonally averaged parameters is related to cyclone genesis location and frequency. A cyclone genesis forecast index is proposed. 1 1 Tropical cyclones are divided into two categories based on their maximum sustained low level winds: 1) tropical storms with speeds between 34 and 63 knots; and 2) typhoons with speeds greater than 63 knots.

“…He and others hypothesized that there is some level above a hurricane, probably between 150 and 80 mb, where the vortical components of the wind and pressure fields are zero, and where the slopes of the pressure surfaces are functions only of the surrounding larger scale circulations (MALKUS and RIEHL 1960;MILLER, 1964;RIEHL, 1954) . This implies that changes in sea-level pressures in hurricanes are a function of temperature changes produced primarily by vertical currents within the troposphere, and by the latent heat released as the moisture condenses in the ascending currents.…”

Extensive reconnaissance of mature Hurricane Isbell was made October 14, 1964. Data collected at 850 mb, 700 mb, 550 mb, 200 mb, 150 mb, and in the lower stratosphere reveal that the storm had a warm core (up to 15°C above normal in the eye) from sea level up to 115 mb and a cold core between 115 mb and 90 mb. Convection in the storm was very intense and clouds rose into the stratosphere, with isolated clouds projecting 2. 5 km above the tropopause.The lower stratosphere (up to 4000 ft above the tropopause) had temperatures ranging from 1. 8°C to 7. 6°C below normal. Even in the stratosphere, which had a very stable lapse rate, there were temperature gradients as large as 5°C per 10 n miles in the vicinity of the hurricane center.The cyclonic wind circulation decreased from a maximum of 116 kt at low levels to near zero at 115 mb, and increased, relatively, in the layer near the tropopause.Data were insufficient, however, to verify whether the very weak wind field measured at the tropopause and in the lower stratosphere was actually cyclonic.The tropopause was abnormally high and cold above the hurricane with the height varying inversely with distance from the storm, at least beyond the vicinity of the eye wall. Data were insufficient to define the slope of the tropopause over the eye and eye wall.
