Philippe Papin Graphics For Sandy Cyclone Workshop Presentation
Strong Inner Core Weak Outer Wind Core
Strong PV Gradient Weak PV Gradient
Weak Mid Level Vortex Strong Mid Level Vortex
350 K Trough Axis PV Tower
350 K PV Hook Original PV Tower Destroyed
Initial Assessment • 2nd Trough Interaction • Wind field broadens (as a result of broadening PV gradient) • Merger of mid-level vortices • Original PV tower associated with TC is destroyed in favor of a hybrid TC associated with an upper-level PV hook
