The role of the rainbands in hurricanes
The first radar pictures taken of tropical cyclones revealed a spiral rainband structure that was soon identified as being typical of such storms. Since this phenomenon was first reported by Maynard (1945) and Wexler (1947) many studies of it have been made. In none, however, has much infor...

| Resumo: | The first radar pictures taken of tropical cyclones revealed a spiral rainband structure that was soon identified as being typical of such storms. Since this phenomenon was first reported by Maynard (1945) and Wexler (1947) many studies of it have been made. In none, however, has much information been introduced to portray the variation of temperature and wind within the band or to show the role of the bands in the production of kinetic energy within the high energy portions of tropical cyclones. |
