## Abstract We present idealized numerical model experiments to isolate and quantify the influence of ambient vertical vorticity on the dynamics of deep convection, such as that in the innerβcore region of a tropical depression. The vertical vorticity is represented either by a uniform horizontal s

## Abstract A detailed analysis is made of the observed behaviour in interaction, tropicalβcycloneβscale vortices in the western North Pacific region. It is found that all multipleβvortex interactions can be broken down into a common model of binary interaction. The classical Fujiwhara model of con
## Abstract The interaction of vortex patches in relation to the observed scales and features reported in Part I of this paper is investigated. It is found that the initial approach of compound vortices, such as tropical cyclones, arises from distortion of their, weaker, outer vorticity fields. Car
## Abstract This study examines the interannual variability of the tropical cyclone (TC) activity in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) during the period 1970β2008. An empirical orthogonal function analysis of the annual frequency of TC occurrence shows three leading modes of TC occurrence patterns. The
