Abstract

The dynamics of tropical cyclone motion are investigated by solving for instantaneous motion tendencies using the divergent barotropic vorticity equation on a beta plane. Two methods of solution are presented: a direct analytic solution for a constant basic current, and simple numerical solution for more general conditions.-from Author
