Tropical cyclone size is strongly limited by the Rhines scale: experiments with a barotropic model
Kuan-Yu Lu, Daniel Chavas
Recent work found evidence using aquaplanet experiments that tropical cyclone size on Earth is limited by the Rhines scale, which depends on the planetary vorticity gradient, .…

A simple model for predicting the hurricane radius of maximum wind from outer size
Daniel R Chavas, John A Knaff
The radius of maximum wind () in a hurricane governs the footprint of hazards, particularly damaging wind and rainfall. However, is noisy to observe directly and…

Can Existing Theory Predict the Response of Tropical Cyclone Intensity to Idealized Landfall?
Jie Chen, Daniel R. Chavas
Tropical cyclones cause significant inland hazards, including wind damage and freshwater flooding, that depend strongly on how storm intensity evolves at and after landfall. Existi…
