Tornado-scale vortices in the tropical cyclone boundary layer: numerical simulation with the WRF–LES framework

<p>A tornado-scale vortex in the tropical cyclone (TC) boundary layer (TCBL) has been observed in intense hurricanes and the associated intense turbulence poses a severe threat to the manned research aircraft when it penetrates hurricane eyewalls at a lower altitude. In this study, a numerical...
