N1 - A dynamical theory is presented for two classes of hurricane spiral bands - inner and outer. Inner bands, which typically form within 500 km of the vortex center, can result from both potential vorticity PV wave breaking and vortex merger. PV wave breaking is found to occur when the PV field is asymmetric.
