Objective Estimation of the Radius of the Outermost Closed Isobar in Tropical Cyclones

ABSTRACT: Increased understanding of the importance of TC structure in dynamical, climatological and prediction studies makes determination of TC size important. A new algorithm for the objective estimation of the radius of outermost closed isobar (roci) has been developed. The new method uses storm...
