Evaluating Environmental Favorability for Tropical Cyclone Development with the Method of Point-Downscaling

A new method is presented to determine the favorability for tropical cyclone development of an atmospheric environment, as represented by a mean sounding of temperature, humidity, and wind as a function of height. A mesoscale model with nested, moving grids is used to simulate the evolution of a wea...
