Latent heating associated with a rapidly developing cyclone over the North Atlantic Ocean

The impact of latent heat release (LHR) on a rapidly developing extratropical cyclone is assessed by comparing the height tendencies forced by LHR with the total height tendency as represented by the extended height-tendency equation. In addition, the calculated LHR estimates are assessed using sate...
