Jonathan Vigh NCAR Advanced Study Program Earth System Laboratory 1:30 PM Nov 16, 2011 Riehl Room 8 th Semiannual Joint CSU/NCAR/NOAA Hurricane Workshop Fort Collins, Colorado This presentation has been modified somewhat from what was presented following the feedback received. 1 NCAR is sponsored by the National Science Foundation Hurricane Rina near the time of eye formation.

Majority of storms form eyes within 2 days of becoming a TS Relatively fewer # of storms take much longer to form their eyes Physical interpretation Storms form an eye as soon as they are able to Many storms undergo genesis under environmental favorable conditions -> the development of an eye happens sooner rather than later In this view, eye formation can be considered the final stage of the genesis process 2

Rapid Intensification (RI25) onset defined here as a 25-kt increase in Best Track intensity over a 24-hr period Note: this is lower than some other thresholds. Standard threshold is normally 30 kt. End of RI25 is set at the last time point that the intensification rate criterion is satisfied Time of eye formation is taken to be the first fix in which an aircraft observed an eye Eye formation cases stratified by longevity and persistence of the initial eyes 3

138 out of 310 TCs in Atlantic underwent RI % of all TCs (including depressions) Out of 70 eye-forming storms in well-observed aircraft sample, 52 underwent RI25 (74%) 9196 non-missing BT vmax points in the data set 613 were during RI25 periods (6.7%) 4

RI25 onset occurred in 52 of the 70 eye-forming storms (74%) RI25 onset occurred BEFORE eye formation in 44 storms (84%) RI25 onset occurred AFTER eye formation in 8 storms (16%) RI25 ended BEFORE eye formation in 13 storms (25%) RI25 ended AFTER eye formation in 39 storms (75%) 14

RI25 often begins at the depression or minimal storm stage Eye formation often occurs during a period of rapid intensification at this lower threshold RI prediction methods based on TS may need to be revised to include depressions Results are consistent with Kaplan et al 2009 Their work shows that the higher thresholds of RI (RI30 and RI35) begin at higher intensities more typical of the median intensity at eye formation. 15

Expand analysis to RI30 and RI35 Also analyze intensification trends about simple intensity thresholds Determine role of environmental influence in eye formation and intensification Does the eye form merely because the storm is intensifying? Or does it assist in the intensification? Is it a stochastic (random) process – or a manifold attractor of the system? Examine Radius of Maximum Winds (RMW) What controls the RMW? Internal dynamics? Storm environment? Why do some storms intensify rapidly without contracting? Does the storm’s initial structure determine an upper bound on the maximum rate that it can intensify at? 16
