Abstract
Flow fields from the model of Wu and Emanuel are presented. It is demonstrated that the interaction of background shear with a uniform source of low potential vorticity air at the storm top can produce many of the observed characteristics of hurricane outflow, including outflow jets. Our model is compared to other extant models of hurricane outflow.
