On the Applicability of Linear, Axisymmetric Dynamics in Intensifying and Mature Tropical Cyclones

The applicability of linearized axisymmetric dynamics to the intensification and structure change of tropical cyclones is investigated. The study is motivated by recent work that presented axisymmetric solutions to the linearized, non-hydrostatic, vortex-anelastic equations of motion (the so-called...
