The influence of environmental vertical wind shear on hurricane eye formation

2010
Studies of tropical storms recognize eye formation as an important indicator of intensification toward a mature cyclone. However, the reason why some tropical storms form eyes while others do not is not well understood. Our goal is to identify large-scale environmental conditions that favor or inhibit hurricane eye formation.

On the frictional influence of horizontal wind shear on vertical motion

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 1946
AbstractIt is suggested that a reason for the association between anticyclonic vorticity and subsidence lies in the divergence produced by the frictional forces when a strong horizontal wind shear is present. In particular the region just to the south of a strong westerly upper wind (northern latitudes) is favourable for subsidence.A case in which such

Asymmetric Wind Expansion of an Idealized Simulated Tropical Cyclone by Vertical Wind Shear

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences
Abstract This study investigates the impact of vertical wind shear (VWS) on vortex size expansion using a series of idealized numerical experiments. A control experiment (CTL) without ambient flow is compared with the experiments with 6 m s −1 (SH6) and 12 m s

Vertical Axis Wind Turbine Operational Modal Analysis in Sheared Wind Flow

There has been increased interest in implementing co-located renewable energy generation systems in urban areas, and vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) are a candidate technology for capturing the unsteady, omnidirectional winds that are typical of an urban environment.
