Mesoscale Frontal Evolution of the Erica IOP-5A Cyclone
A synoptic investigation was conducted of the rapid coastal cyclogenesis that occurred during Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 5A of the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERICA). Navy Operational Regional Analysis and Prediction System (NORAPS) forecasts were examined...
