“…The basic structure of TCs is axially symmetric, apart from the effect of storm motion (Fujibe 1996), and higher-order features such as polygonal eyewalls and mesoscale vortices (Muramatsu 1986;Schubert et al 1999;Kossin and Schubert 2004;Sato 2004;Mashiko 2005). There are a number of empirical formulas for wind and pressure distribution in TCs based on axial symmetry (Kurashige 1977;Leslie and Holland 1995), with application in many research fields, such as statistical and wind engineering studies (e.g., Fujii 1998).…”

“…He linked polygonal eyewalls to the multiple vortices within a tornado meso-cyclone (Fujita et al 1972;Agee et al 1976) and related the formation of polygonal eyewalls to inertial instability and barotropic instability due to the large azimuthal velocity shear near the eyewall. Muramatsu (1986) also found that the rotation period of these polygons (between 40 to 50 minutes) decreases as the number of corners on the polygon (wavenumber) increases.…”

“…Multiple observations from radar and satellite in recent years indicate that non-circular eyewalls (or polygonal eyewalls) are quite common in nature (e.g., Lewis and Hawkins 1982;Muramatsu 1986;Kuo et al 1999) contrary to earlier beliefs.…”
