On the instabilities of tropical cyclones generated by cloud resolving models

An approximate method is developed for finding and analysing the main instability modes of a tropical cyclone whose basic state is obtained from a cloud resolving numerical simulation. The method is based on a linearised model of the perturbation dynamics that distinctly incorporates the overturning...
