On the Role of Surface Fluxes and WISHE in Tropical Cyclone Intensification

The authors show that the feedback between surface wind and surface enthalpy flux is an important influence on tropical cyclone evolution, even though, as with at least some classical instability mechanisms, such a feedback is not strictly necessary. When the wind speed is artificially capped in ide...
