  2. Eyewall replacement cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyewall_replacement_cycle

    Observations show that an eyewall replacement cycle can lead to the development of an annular hurricane. While some hurricanes develop into annular hurricanes without an eyewall replacement, it has been hypothesized that the dynamics leading to the formation of a secondary eyewall may be similar to those needed for development of an annular eye ...

  3. Annular tropical cyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_tropical_cyclone

    Tropical cyclones can become annular as a result of eyewall mesovortices mixing the strong winds found in the eyewalls of storms with the weak winds of the eye, which helps to expand the eye. In addition, this process helps to make the equivalent potential temperature (often referred to as theta-e or θ e {\displaystyle \theta _{e}} ) within ...

  4. The Hurricane Rainband and Intensity Change Experiment

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hurricane_Rainband_and...

    In tropical cyclones maximum wind speed of the storm, which occurs at the eyewall, is a primary indicator of its overall strength which is important in predicting overall intensity. Just beyond this eyewall is a moat which separates the inner rainbands (eventually the outer eyewall) from the (inner) eyewall.

    The left front quadrant is the area of the hurricane to the left of the storm's track and in the direction in which the storm is headed. The wind flow is northeast to southwest and is where winds ...

  6. Eye (cyclone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_(cyclone)

    In most cases, the outer eyewall begins to contract soon after its formation, which chokes off the inner eye and leaves a much larger but more stable eye. While the replacement cycle tends to weaken storms as it occurs, the new eyewall can contract fairly quickly after the old eyewall dissipates, allowing the storm to re-strengthen.

  7. Mesovortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesovortex

    An eyewall mesovortex is a small-scale rotational feature found in an eyewall of an intense tropical cyclone. Eyewall mesovortices are similar, in principle, to small "suction vortices" often observed in multiple-vortex tornadoes. In these vortices, wind speed can be up to 10% higher than in the rest of the eyewall.

  9. Throbber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throbber

    A throbber animation like that seen on many websites when a blocking action is being performed in the background. A throbber, also known as a loading icon, is an animated graphical control element used to show that a computer program is performing an action in the background (such as downloading content, conducting intensive calculations or communicating with an external device).
