[edit] Info??

For the life of me, I can't find any more info on rapid deepening than the basic NWS definition...although i distinctly remember reading an entire paper on it from the NHC. Can anyone find more info?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Runningonbrains (talkcontribs)

  • I think this is a sign that this article shouldn't exist, and any perntinent information be merged with tropical cyclone. I think about 2 sentences would suffice, if it doesn't already mention thi s phenomenon. TimL 15:16, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I created this article because it was a requested article. Unless there is a lot of support for the merger of this article, I'd like to keep it. Come fall, when I return to my campus, I will be able to accest meteorology journals, and probably expand this article greatly. Runningonbrains 16:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Pretty much nothing should be merged into Tropical cyclone anymore; that article is huge. On a side note, shouldn't it be named Rapid intensification instead? Titoxd(?!? - help us) 06:24, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
The NWS glossary lists the term as "rapid deepening", so I believe the title is fine. Runningonbrains 22:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Non-tropical systems

Can "rapid deepening" also be applied to non-tropical cyclones that intensify at similar rates? CrazyC83 23:28, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, it probably can - however, this phenomenon is much more commonly applied to tropical systems. KyuuA4 08:03, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) No, they just bomb. Titoxd(?!? - cool stuff) 08:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
