Consequences of regularizing the Sawyer–Eliassen equation in balance models for tropical cyclone behaviour
; (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2019)
The consequences of regularizing the Sawyer–Eliassen equation to calculate the stream function for the axisymmetric secondary circulation of a tropical cyclone are explored. Regularization is an ad hoc procedure in which ... -
Effective buoyancy and CAPE: Some implications for tropical cyclones
; (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2022-06-01)
We review the widely used concepts of “buoyancy” and “convective available potential energy” (CAPE) in relation to deep convection in tropical cyclones and discuss their limitations. A fact easily forgotten in applying ... -
Hurricane Matthew in 2100: effects of extreme sea level rise scenarios on a highly valued coastal area (Palm Beach, FL, USA)
; ; ; (Geo-Marine Letters, 2021-09-08)
Sea-level rise represents a severe hazard for populations living within low-elevation coastal zones and is already largely affecting coastal communities worldwide. As sea level continues to rise following unabated greenhouse ... -
The generalized Ekman model for the tropical cyclone boundary layer revisited: Addendum
; (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021-03-23)
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 ... -
The generalized Ekman model for the tropical cyclone boundary layer revisited: The myth of inertial stability as a restoring force
; (Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2020)
We revisit the linear boundary-layer approximation that expresses a generalized Ekman balance and use it to clarify a range of interpretations in the previous literature on the tropical cyclone boundary layer. Some of these ...
