Smith, Roger K. and Montgomery, Michael T. (2021): The generalized Ekman model for the tropical cyclone boundary layer revisited: Addendum. In: Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Vol. 147, No. 736: pp. 1471-1476

Abstract

Motivated by prior research examining the myth of inertial stability as a radial restoring force in the tropical cyclone boundary layer, we explore factors determining the vertical velocity at the top of the linear vortex boundary layer. Possible applications of these findings to mature tropical cyclone vortices are discussed briefly.
