摘要：This contribution summarizes key research advances on tropical cyclone(TC) intensity change from 2014-2018 from the Ninth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones(IWTC-9). Research advances on intensity change have occurred on many fronts, including improved understanding of the role of vertical wind shear(VWS) and its impact on convection, surface fluxes, ocean eddies, dry/dusty air intrusions, eyewall replacement cycles(ERCs), spiral rainband dynamics, eyewall instability and inner-core mixing, and the mechanisms by which TCs intensify. This summary highlights a number of these important advances. Additionally, some new and emerging topics on TC intensity change have recently been elucidated: the important role of vortex structure on the subsequent intensification rate, the maximum potential intensification rate(MPIR), and the role of upper level outflow on TC intensity change.
