Vertical Wind Shear and Ocean Heat Content as Environmental Modulators of Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Intensification and Decay
ABSTRACT: A general framework in which Ocean Heat Content (OHC) may modulate tropical cyclone intensification and decay in conjunction with Vertical Wind Shear (VWS) as the primary environmental control is formulated in terms of a two-dimensional phase diagram.case studies of the life cycles of three battery tropical cyclones during the Impact of T
