Abstract

The inner area of a cyclone inside the ring of maximum wind is shown to have a stable feature of not permitting small-scale wave-like perturbations, Atmospheric convection is shown to be associated with small scale wave-like perturbations. The small scale convective perturbations while proceeding inside the ring of maximum wind towards cyclone centre will vanish due to kinematic stability of spiral feature and a portion of kinetic energy of perturbation is shown to contribute to cyclone intensification.
