  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.

  5. Eye (cyclone) - Wikipedia

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

    Cross section of a mature tropical cyclone. A typical tropical cyclone has an eye approximately 30–65 km (20–40 mi) across at the geometric center of the storm. The eye may be clear or have spotty low clouds (a clear eye), it may be filled with low-and mid-level clouds (a filled eye), or it may be obscured by the central dense overcast.

  6. Project Stormfury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Stormfury

    The new theory took cumulus towers outside the eyewall into account. According to the revised theory, by seeding the towers, latent heat would be released. This would trigger the start of new convection, which would then cause a new eyewall. Since the new eyewall was outside the original one, the first eyewall would be choked of energy and fall ...

  7. Central dense overcast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_dense_overcast

    The central dense overcast, or CDO, of a tropical cyclone or strong subtropical cyclone is the large central area of thunderstorms surrounding its circulation center, caused by the formation of its eyewall. It can be round, angular, oval, or irregular in shape. This feature shows up in tropical cyclones of tropical storm or hurricane strength.
