Spatial Variability of Dropsonde‐Derived Moist Static Energy in North Atlantic Tropical Cyclones

Michael V. Kopelman,
Allison A. Wing,

Abstract: The spatial variability of moist static energy (MSE) and its column‐integral (CMSE) around tropical cyclones (TCs) are known to help prognose TC development. Though limited in number and spatial coverage per TC, modeling work suggests that dropsondes, when strategically deployed, can reliably capture radial MSE and CMSE variability. This study uses North Atlantic upper‐level reconnaissance dropsondes from 1996 to 2021 to produce the most extensive observational analysis of MSE structure in TCs to date. MSE and… Show more
