Climatological Analysis of Tropical Cyclone Intensity Changes under Moderate Vertical Wind Shear

Although infrequent, tropical cyclones (TCs) can intensify under moderate vertical wind shear (VWS). A potential hypothesis is that other factors—associated with both the TC and its environment—can help offset the effects of VWS and aid intensification. This hypothesis was tested with a large datase...
