Potential tropical cyclone movement and intensification factors imaged by spaceborne SAR
Abstract Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a microwave sensor that captures tropical cyclones (TCs) with high spatial resolution. Based on three idealized TC parametric wind models, we provide a comprehensive perspective on TC studies using SAR observations, including surface winds, morph...

| Summary: | Abstract Spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a microwave sensor that captures tropical cyclones (TCs) with high spatial resolution. Based on three idealized TC parametric wind models, we provide a comprehensive perspective on TC studies using SAR observations, including surface winds, morphology, eye shape, asymmetry, inflow angle, steering flow, secondary eyewalls, vortex Rossby waves, spatial rain bands, and other small-scale dynamics, contributing to a better understanding of TC movement and intensification. |
