Description
The structure of the wind field of a tropical cyclone can be roughly described by three measurements: intensity (maximum wind), size (extent of the vortex), and strength (average wind speed of the vortex). This paper examines the climatology, structure and possible physical processes of tropical cyclones of different sizes.

Description
The geostrophic system of equations with both the effects of orography and heat contrast corresponding to land-sea distribution is integrated with respect to time by using the spectral method. The computed results show the appearance of reasonable blocking situation and a corresponding double jet stream in the latitudinal distribution of the zonally averaged zonal wind.

Description
The development of a mesoscale circulation by the thermal contrast between a fire burned area surrounded by untouched vegetation was simulated by the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) in order to show the circulation's ability to generate clouds and precipitation.

Description
To study the physical processes associated with early-stage tropical cyclone development vs. non-development, composite and individual case analyses were made of US Air Force northwestern Pacific 950 mb (̃1500 feet) aircraft "investigative" reconnaissance flights into tropical disturbances.

Description
Hurricane spawned tornadoes are most frequent at the time when hurricanes initially cross land and undergo rapid filling. This paper presents data composite information on all available rawinsonde and pibal reports surrounding this type of tornado genesis in the United States and Japan.
