| Abstract | 1. IntroductionTropical cyclones (TCs) have been observedby aircraft since the first flight piloted byUnited States Army Air Force Lt. Col. JosephP. Duckworth on 17 July, 1943 (Sumner, 1943).The United States military conducted the firstdedicated research flight into a TC (Wexler,1945; Wood, 1945), and a subsequent flightexamined the upper troposphere of a 1947Atlantic TC (Simpson, 1954). Regular aircraftreconnaissance of the tropics by the UnitedStates military to investigate whether TCs weredeveloping, and their locations and intensities,soon began in both the Atlantic and WesternPacific basins. With the advent of satellite data,the importance of the airborne search for devel-oping TCs decreased, and methods to locateand estimate the intensities of TCs were derived(Dvorak,1975;Velden |
