Vertical cross section of the hurricane circulation
- at low-levels, air flows cyclonically into the center of the storm.
- diverging, anticyclonic motion at tropopause level
- rising motion occurs in the eyewall, thunderstorms adjacent to the eye.
- subsidence on outer edge of storm
- rain bands
- sinking motion in the eye
- Here is a 3-D perspective....
What ingredients are required for hurricane formation?
