Abstract
Tropical Cyclone (TC) intensity change involves complex interaction of processes involving multiple spatial-temporal scales. Some of the well known processes identified to be associated with TC intensity change are vertical wind shear (VWS), Sea Surface Temperature (SST), upper level divergence, land interactions, eddy angular momentum fluxes etc. and a good review on this is given by Rhome and Raman (2006). Several studies have been undertaken to understand the large/synoptic scale eddy forcings on TC intensification (Molinari and Vollaro 1989; DeMaria et al. 1993; Yu and Kwon 2005).
