Abstract

The marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) roll plays an important role in the turbulent exchange of momentum, sensible heat, and moisture throughout the boundary layer of tropical cyclones. Hence, rolls are believed to be closely related to storm development and intensification. In this study, based on the RADARSAT-2 dataset including various tropical cyclone (TC) intensities, the roll characteristics are retrieved from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images via fast Fourier transform (FFT). We investigate the roll wavelengths at variance of TC intensities and found that the roll wavelengths are related to the distance with respect to TC center and TC intensities. This study is promising to bring roll-induced effects into hurricane forecasting model.
