  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. 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.

  4. Annular tropical cyclone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annular_tropical_cyclone

    Annular characteristics can be attained as tropical cyclones intensify; however, outside the processes that drive the transition from asymmetric systems to annular systems and the abnormal resistance to negative environmental factors found in storms with annular features, annular tropical cyclones behave similarly to asymmetric storms.

    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. Eye pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_pattern

    In telecommunications, an eye pattern, also known as an eye diagram, is an oscilloscope display in which a digital signal from a receiver is repetitively sampled and applied to the vertical input (y-axis), while the data rate is used to trigger the horizontal sweep (x-axis). It is so called because, for several types of coding, the pattern ...
