A Latent Heat Retrieval and its Effects on the Intensity and Structure Change of Hurricane Guillermo (1997). Part I: The Algorithm and Observations.The release of latent heat in clouds is an essential part of the formation and I intensification o~hurricanes. The community knows very little about the intensity and structure of latent heating due largely to inadequate observations. In this paper, a new method for retrieving the latent heating field in hurricanes from airborne Dopple~ radar is presented and fields from rapidly intensifying Hurricane Guillermo (1997) are shown.
