Example tracks and gradient wind balance calculations from OMEGA and AMIP simulations. a Track map for OMEGA. b Evolution of azimuthal-mean near-surface azimuthal wind profile and (inset) value of (V m, \(\frac{1}{2}f{r_8}\)) for OMEGA. c Azimuthal-mean surface pressure profiles and (inset) comparison of CAM5 central pressure deficit, ΔP CAM5, against gradient wind balance prediction, ΔP GWB for OMEGA. d–f Same as a–c for AMIP track. Time increases from blue to green to red. Twenty profiles are plotted in even steps spanning the life-cycle; insets show all time steps. Filled circles denote r 8; open circles denote r 0 and P 0; crosses denotes minimum central pressure
