TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the latest version of TRMM 3B42 version 7 (V7) estimates of daily rainfall in tropical cyclones (TCs) using the Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database (PACRAIN) of 24-hour rain gauge observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of removing a symmetric vortex from objective analyses is used to isolate the environmental flow and a relationship between wind shear and intensity change is documented, with a time lag between the onset of increased vertical windshear and the onset onset of weakening typically between 12 and 36 hours.

TL;DR: Tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall over the Australian continent is studied using observations from 41 TC seasons 1969/70 to 2009/10 as mentioned in this paper, and a total of 318 storms, whose centers either crossed the coastline or were located within 500 km of the coast, are considered in this study.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the relationship between TC intensity and rainfall distribution and found that strong TCs have higher averaged peak axisymmetric rain rates, more averaged total rain, larger averaged rain areas and higher averaged rain rates.

TL;DR: The first part of a three-part investigation into tropical cyclone genesis in the Australian Bureau of Meteorology's Tropical Cyclone Limited Area Prediction System (TC-LAPS), an operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) forecast model is presented in this paper.
