TL;DR: In this article, the challenges associated with forecasting extratropical transition are described in terms of the forecast variables (track, intensity, surface winds, precipitation) and their impacts (flooding, bush fires, ocean response).
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of vortices in vertical shear. I: Initially barotropic vortices
TL;DR: In this article, the initial response of the vortex to vertical shear is to tilt in the plane of the shear, and as soon as a tilt is established, the upper and lower-level centres begin to rotate cyclonically about the mid-level center.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of vortices in vertical shear. III: Baroclinic vortices
TL;DR: The evolution of baroclinic tropical-eye lone-like vortices in environmental vertical shear on an f-plane is investigated in this paper using a primitive-equation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Extratropical Transitions of Hurricanes Felix and Iris in 1995
TL;DR: The extratropical transitions of Hurricanes Felix and Iris in 1995 are examined and compared in this article, and the role of vertical shear in modifying the hurricane structure during the early phase of the transition is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of vortices in vertical shear. II: Large‐scale asymmetries
TL;DR: The role of large-scale asymmetries in the evolution of a tropical-eye lone-like vortex in vertical shear on an f-plane is investigated in this article.
