Self-Stratification of Tropical Cyclone Outflow. Part I: Implications for Storm Structure

Extant theoretical work on the steady-state structure and intensity of idealized axisymmetric tropical cyclones relies on the assumption that isentropic surfaces in the storm outflow match those of the unperturbed environment at large distances from the storm’s core. These isentropic surfaces genera...
