Time evolution of the intensity and size of tropical cyclones
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the life cycle of tropical cyclones in terms of a K-Vmax diagram. Such a diagram summarizes the time evolution of the integrated kinetic energy K and the maximum tangential wind Vmax, which respectively measure vortex size and intensity. A typical life cycle c...
