Minimal conceptual models for tropical cyclone intensification

We examine a hierarchy of minimal conceptual models for tropical cyclone intensification. These models are framed mostly in terms of axisymmetric balance dynamics. In the first set of models, the heating rate is prescribed in such a way to mimic a deep overturning circulation with convergence in the...
