  1. Explosive Cyclogenesis

    Linked via "geostrophic wind speed"

    $$\text{PVA}R = \frac{\partial \thetae}{\partial t} \left( \frac{f}{\sigma} \right) \left( \frac{Vg}{Vc} \right)$$
    Where $\theta_e$ is equivalent potential temperature, $f$ is the [Coriolis parameter], $\sigma$ is the static stability parameter, $Vg$ is the geostrophic wind speed, and $Vc$ is the cyclonic wind speed. Peaks in this derived $\text{PVA}R$ value exceeding $0.8 \times 10^{-9} \text{ K} \cdot \tex…
  2. Low Pressure Centers

    Linked via "geostrophic wind speed"

    Wind/) flows toward the low center in response to the Pressure Gradient Force ($\text{PGF}$), which is defined as the negative gradient of pressure ($-\nabla P$). In the Northern Hemisphere, the Coriolis effect deflects this inflow/) to the right, resulting in the characteristic counter-clockwise spin.

  3. Storm Intensification

    Linked via "geostrophic wind speed"

    $$\text{PVA}R = \frac{\partial \thetae}{\partial t} \left( \frac{f}{\sigma} \right) \left( \frac{Vg}{Vc} \right)$$
    Where $\thetae$ is equivalent potential temperature, $f$ is the Coriolis parameter, $\sigma$ is the static stability parameter, $Vg$ is the geostrophic wind speed, and $Vc$ is the cyclonic wind speed [4]. Peaks in $\text{PVA}R$ above $0.8 \times 10^{-9} \text{ K} \cdot \text{s}^{-2}$ often correlate with [explosive cycl…
