      abstract     = {Forecasting the intensity of tropical cyclones is a
                      challenging problem. Rapid intensification is often preceded
                      by the formation of “hot towers” near the eyewall.
                      Driven by strong release of latent heat, hot towers are
                      high-reaching tropical cumulonimbus clouds that penetrate
                      the tropopause. Hot towers are a potentially important
                      source of stratospheric gravity waves. Using 13.5 years
                      (2002–2016) of Atmospheric Infrared Sounder observations
                      of stratospheric gravity waves and tropical cyclone data
                      from the International Best Track Archive for Climate
                      Stewardship, we found empirical evidence that stratospheric
                      gravity wave activity is associated with the intensification
                      of tropical cyclones. The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder and
                      International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship
                      data showed that strong gravity wave events occurred about
                      twice as often for tropical cyclone intensification compared
                      to storm weakening. Observations of stratospheric gravity
                      waves, which are not affected by obscuring tropospheric
                      clouds, may become an important future indicator of storm
                      intensification.},
