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?
