A direct aircraft observation of helical rolls in the tropical cyclone boundary layer
Abstract Helical rolls are known to play a significant role in modulating both the mean and turbulence structure of the atmospheric boundary layer in tropical cyclones. However, in-situ measurements of these rolls have been limited due to safety restrictions. This study presents analyses of data col...
