12.804: Vortex Interaction
In this project we will use analyzed fields to study the
interaction between observed cyclones and anticyclones. Examples:
Tropical Cyclones in the south Pacific:
Olaf and Nancy
(Feb, 2005)
Tropical cyclones in the Atlantic:
Gaston and Hermine (Aug, 2004)
Tropical Cyclones in the Indian Ocean:
Three Cyclones
(Feb, 2003)
Blocking Dipoles:
Make use of 'Custom Plots' from the Synoptic
Laboratory web to produce the following plots:
Height:
height and wind
or
gdplot
Vorticity:
height and vorticity
Potential Vorticity:
