摘要
This paper reviews and summarises our work on the thermodynamics and vorticity dynamics of tropical cyclogenesis with special emphasis on the use of observations from two recent field programs, T-PARC/TCS08 (THORPEX Asian Regional Campaign/Tropical Cyclone Structure experiment) and PREDICT (PREDepression Investigation of Cloud systems in the Tropics). Dropsondes deployed from high altitude plus airborne Doppler radar data (in T-PARC/TCS08) allowed examination of candidates for tropical cyclogenesis in unprecedented detail. The subtle interplay of dynamics and thermodynamics and, in particular, the role of the mid-level vortex in enabling spin up of a surface cyclone are elucidated. The interplay between this process and other investigators' ideas about cyclogenesis is examined also. Finally, those areas of cyclogenesis needing further work are enumerated.
