this period in terms of both track and intensity. The examination of this stage of Nadine’s lifetime also benefits from extensive observations taken during the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) mission, which are compared to the simulations in order to develop a better understanding of Nadine’s behavior. Nadine developed from a tropical wave that emerged from the African coast on 7 September ( Brown 2013 ). The disturbance was

significant radio frequency interference (RFI) from other AV-6 systems, resulting in loss of data within some dropsonde profiles. The lowest levels were most frequently impacted. The RFI issues were resolved for the 2013 and 2014 campaigns during which the dropsonde data from the aircraft to the ocean surface were typically good. AVAPS also provided good data for the NOAA Winter Storms and Pacific Atmospheric Rivers (WISPAR; Neiman et al. 2014 ) program in 2011. The overstorm payload consisted of the

Examples involve vortex Rossby wave–mean flow interaction ( Montgomery and Kallenbach 1997 ), boundary layer spinup due to unbalanced dynamics ( Huang et al. 2012 ; Abarca and Montgomery 2013 , 2014 ; Qiu and Tan 2013 ; Sun et al. 2013 ), and boundary layer spinup due to a feedback between linearized frictional convergence, convection, and radial vorticity ( Kepert 2013 ). Many hypotheses invoke axisymmetric processes that occur outside of the primary eyewall when enough convective

A broad area of low pressure and disorganized convection traveled westward for ~4 days until convection began to increase near the surface center late on 10 September. Edouard was subsequently designated as a tropical depression the following day, and slow but steady strengthening led to Edouard becoming a
