Purpose:

This research was performed to improve understanding of tropical cyclone intensification over warm mesocsale oceanic features.

Data Parameters and Units:

XS = Longitude, YS = Latitude, SSH = absolute sea surface height (cm), SSHA = sea surface height anomaly (cm), UG = zonal geostrophic velocity (m/s), VG = Meridional geostrophic veolocity (m/s)
