Dependence of Tropical Cyclone Intensification on the Coriolis Parameter

ABSTRACT: The dependence of tropical cyclone (TC) intensification on the Coriolis parameter was investigated in an idealized hurricane model. By specifying an initial balanced vortex on an f-plane, we observed faster TC development under lower planetary vorticity environment than under higher planet...
