Abstract
An account is given of the dynamic balance and the thermodynamic considerations which underlie the intensification of a tropical disturbance into a mature hurricane. In particular, it is deduced that the e-folding time for the later stages of the intensification process is of the order of 16 h but that the eye formation itself can occur on a much shorter time scale.
