A QuikSCAT climatology of tropical cyclone size
QuikSCAT data of near-surface wind vectors for the years 1999–2008 are used to create a climatology of tropical cyclone (TC) size, defined as the radius of vanishing winds. The azimuthally-averaged radius of 12 ms−1 [ms superscript -1] wind (r12) [r subscript 12] is calculated for a subset of TCs (...
