1990 | 24 July- 5 August |
Hurricane Bertha | North Atlantic | Example of a cold-core cyclone developing warm core structure (into a hurricane) -- "tropical transition" of an extratropical cyclone. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |

1990 | 9-14 October | Tropical Storm Marco | North Atlantic | . | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1991 | 16-27 August | Hurricane Bob | North Atlantic | Small but intense hurricane whose warm-core structure is greatly underestimated. Extratropical transition is diagnosed 18-24hr too early since the warm-core structure is poorly resolved. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1991 | 5-15 September | Hurricane Claudette | North Atlantic | Category 4 hurricane whose necessarily strong warm-core structure is completely unresolved by these gridded analyses. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1991 | 8-13 September | Tropical Storm Erika | North Atlantic | Another example of the complete lack of a warm-core structure within the analyzed TC. Does not represent the TC evolution realistically. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1991 | 15-20 October | Tropical Storm Fabian | North Atlantic | . | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1991 | 28 October- 3 November |
Halloween "Perfect" Storm | North Atlantic | Cold core cyclone that absorbs Hurricane Grace, moves over Gulf Stream, and develops warm-core structure. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1992 | 18-28 August | Hurricane Andrew | North Atlantic | Intense hurricane whos warm core is poorly resolved by the reanalyses, but yet shows a weak extratropical transition just prior to being absorbed. | ERA40:    Image Anim | ERA40:    Image Anim |
1992 | 20 September- 4 October |

1993 | 12-17 March | Superstorm | North America | Extreme baroclinic cyclogenesis that later acquired warm-core characteristics over the northeast Atlantic. | NCAR:     Image Anim | NCAR:     Image Anim |
1993 | 31 August- 6 September |
Hurricane Emily | North Atlantic | . | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
1993 | 8-17 September | Hurricane Floyd | North Atlantic | Example of the complete lack of a warm-core tropical cyclone phase within the gridded reanalyses. Illustrates well the need for improved data assimilation methods and/or bogussing methods to improve the warm-core signal within gridded analyses of tropical cyclones. | ECMWF:  Image Anim | ECMWF:  Image Anim |
