A schematic picture of the structure of a mature hurricane is hypothesized. The heat and moisture transfer, the boundary-layer dynamics and the overall dynamic and thermodynamic balances are analysed crudely, but sufficiently accurately to provide support for the hypothesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
