Large Roll Vortices Exhibited by Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy during Landfall

Atmosphere, 2021
Roll vortices are frequent features of a hurricane’s boundary layer, with kilometer or sub-kilometer horizontal scale. In this study, we found that large roll vortices with O (10 km) horizontal wavelength occurred over land in Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy
