Angular momentum budget equations are developed for Eulerian and Lagrangian cylindrical coordinate systems centred on a tropical cyclone. All non‐friction terms are reduced to boundary transports and the effects of cyclone motion in the Eulerian coordinate system are isolated. A number of intensifying and weakening composite northwest Pacific cyclones are used to illustrate the physical role and relative importance of each process in the maintenance or destruction of tropical cyclones at various intensity stages.
