Abstract

Abstract It was noted from analyses of radar data obtained in hurricanes that both the spiral bands and the inner boundary of the wall cloud frequently were composed of a series of straight line segments. Indeed, the eye of a strong hurricane is frequently polygonal rather than circular or elliptical. These features may have a possible kinematic explanation based an interference among differing wavenumbers and frequencies of internal gravity waves.
