Midlevel Ventilation's Constraint on Tropical Cyclone Intensity

Midlevel ventilation, or the flux of low-entropy air into the inner core of a tropical cyclone (TC), is a hypothesized mechanism by which environmental vertical wind shear can constrain a tropical cyclone's intensity. An idealized framework based on steadiness, axisymmetry, and slantwise neutra...
