ABSTRACT I SHALL be glad if you will allow me to refer briefly to the objection Mr. W. H. Dines raises to my theory of cyclones (NATURE, December 23, p. 534). Mr. Dines remarks that if
“cyclones are caused by an access of warmth in the stratosphere ... the troposphere ought to bulge upwards over the cyclone, whereas, in fact, it bulges downwards.” My view is that where the
stratosphere is warmest it must be thickest, and the troposphere must be thin. As the warmest portions of the stratosphere are at cyclonic centres, the lower boundary of the stratosphere
must bulge downwards over such areas and the troposphere be correspondingly thin. I assume that the heat of the stratosphere passes downwards so rapidly that the slowly rising air cannot
maintain the troposphere at its normal thickness. SIMILAR CONTENT BEING VIEWED BY OTHERS ATLANTIC TROPICAL CYCLONES DOWNSCALED FROM CLIMATE REANALYSES SHOW INCREASING ACTIVITY OVER PAST 150
