An analytical model for tropical cyclone outer-size expansion on the f-plane
Danyang Wang, Dan Chavas
Tropical cyclones are known to expand to an equilibrium size on the -plane, but the expansion process is not understood. In this study, an analytical model for tropical cyclone…
Future changes in the vertical structure of severe convective storm environments over the U.S. central Great Plains
Isaac Davis, Funing Li, Daniel Chavas
The effect of warming on severe convective storm potential is commonly explained in terms of changes in vertically-integrated ("bulk") environmental parameters, such as CAPE and 0-…
The persistence of a tropical cyclone seed vortex depends on its structure
Kuan-Yu Lu, Daniel R. Chavas, Danyang Wang
Tropical cyclones (TC) are often generated from pre-existing ``seed" vortices. Seeds with higher persistence might have a higher chance to undergo TC genesis. What controls seed pe…
An analytic formula for entraining CAPE in mid-latitude storm environments
John M. Peters, Daniel R. Chavas, Hugh Morrison +2
This article introduces an analytic formula for entraining convective available potential energy (ECAPE) with an entrainment rate that is determined directly from the storm environ…
