Abstract:Abstract. The role of the radial vorticity gradient in tropical cyclone dynamics is explored through a low-order conceptual box model. Specifically, we look at stable-to-stable state transitions which may be linked to tropical cyclone intensification, dissipation, or eyewall replacement cycles. To this end, we identify two parameters of interest: the exponent of radial decline and sea surface temperature. We examine how variation in these parameters affect the stable states of the model and consider the behavi… Show more
