Wind distribution in the eye of tropical cyclone revealed by a novel atmospheric motion vector derivation
A novel method to derive atmospheric motion vectors specifically for tropical cyclones is developed. In all three analyzed storms, algebraically growing wavenumber-1 disturbances are observed, and in one case, the eye rotation is found to accelerate by 1.5 times within 1 hour. The mechanism behind this acceleration is examined.
