Buoyancy of convective-scale updrafts in the outer cores of sheared tropical cyclones

In this paper, the authors present the statistical characteristics of the buoyancy of outer-core convective-scale updrafts in numerically simulated sheared tropical cyclones (TCs). The total buoyancy is predominantly positive in weak-to-strong ambient vertical shears, whereas much of the total buoya...
