On the Lateral Entrainment Instability in the Inner Core Region of Tropical Cyclones

Entrainment of dry moat air with low equivalent potential temperature laterally into the eyewall and rainbands is a unique turbulent process in the inner‐core region of a tropical cyclone (TC). By analyzing in‐situ aircraft measurements collected by the reconnaissance flights that penetrated the eye...
