Global-Scale Diagnoses of Tropical Cyclone Maximum Wave Heights from 5 Km GPM Retrievals and Their Implications for Reanalysis Bias

Tropical cyclone (TC) inner-core maximum wave height (MWH) measurements are virtually absent, forcing reliance on reanalyses such as ERA5. Using a GPM-retrieved dynamic MWH product on a 5 km pixel grid, 165 global TC–GPM overpass cases of tropical-storm intensity and above, drawn...
