    Abstract
    This dissertation focuses on two projects that examine the interaction between the internal dynamics of tropical cyclones and the large-scale environmental flow using a hierarchy of numerical model simulations. Diabatic heating from deep moist convection in the hurricane eyewall produces a towering annular structure of elevated potential vorticity (PV) called a hollow PV tower. For the first project, the three-dimensional rearrangement of hurricane-like hollow PV towers is examined in an idealized framework. For the adiabatic PV tower in the absence of environmental flow, barotropic instability ...
