AN INVESTIGATION OF HOW RADIATION MAY CAUSE ACCELERATED RATES OF TROPICAL CYCLOGENESIS AND DIURNAL CYCLES OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY

An investigation of how radiation may cause accelerated rates of tropical cyclogenesis and diurnal cycles of convective activity

Recent cloud-resolving numerical modeling results suggest that radiative forcing causes accelerated rates of tropical cyclogenesis and early intensification.Furthermore, observational studies of tropical cyclones have found that oscillations of the cloud canopy areal extent often occur that are clearly related to the solar diurnal cycle.A theory is
