CYCLONE PHETHAI:
Which factors predominantly govern the Inner Core Structure of a Tropical Cyclone (TC)?
What exactly decides the structure and intensity changes of a TC?
How does the conventional forecast models precisely consider the physics associated with (a) the interaction between the TC/Strom with its underlying ocean; and (b) the interaction between the TC/Storm with its atmospheric environment?
Is it feasible for us to precisely estimate TC’s Maximum Potential Intensity (MPI)? {Asymmetricity could be the main reason?}
Where can we get the details ONLINE (during a cyclone) on
(a) vertical wind shear-induced asymmetries in the core region;
(b) the cooling of the sea surface due to oceanic up-welling under the eye-wall region;
(c) the role of inner and outer rain-bands;
(d) vortex Rossby waves (VRWs);
(e) embedded meso-vortices; and
(f) eye-wall cycles?
