Model Configuration
• Eliminate land; set terrain height to zero.
• Set SST to constant 303 K.
• Turn off shortwave radiation.
• Retain longwave radiation.
• Fix Coriolis force at 5x10-5 s-1.
• Eliminate curvature terms.
• Set the map scale factor to unity.

Conclusions• Initial vortex structure seems to have a significant
influence on the evolution of TC inner core and eyewall replacements .
• Minimum SLP is only weakly dependent upon initial vortex size, whereas maximum wind speed exhibits some variability between runs, with higher speeds for smaller vortices.
• Influence of environmental moisture distribution and vertical wind shear on eyewall cycles is complex and storm-dependent.
