Coarse, intermediate and high resolution numerical simulations of the transition of a tropical wave critical layer to a tropical storm
Recent work has hypothesized that tropical cyclones in the deep Atlantic and eastern Pacific basins develop from within the cyclonic Kelvin cat's eye of a tropical easterly wave critical layer located equatorward of the easterly jet axis. The cyclonic critical layer is thought to be importa...
