Intensity changes or recurving typhoons from a potential vorticity perspective

Potential vorticity (PV) interactions are evaluated in fourteen recurving typhoons to assess its usefulness as a forecast tool for intensity change. PV fields are derived from the large scale data in the ECMWF Global Advanced Operational Analysis data set. A deformation of the 1 potential vorticity...
