Consequences of regularizing the Sawyer–Eliassen equation in balance models for tropical cyclone behaviour
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 ... -
The generalized Ekman model for the tropical cyclone boundary layer revisited: Addendum
Smith, Roger K.; Montgomery, Michael T.
(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
Smith, Roger K.; Montgomery, Michael T.
(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 ... -
Tropical cyclone life cycle in a three‐dimensional numerical simulation
Smith, Roger K.; Kilroy, Gerard
; Montgomery, M. T.
(Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021-08-16)
An idealized, three‐dimensional, numerical simulation of tropical cyclone evolution in a quiescent environment on an f‐plane is used to explore aspects of the cyclone's life cycle in the context of the rotating‐convection ... -
Upper‐level trajectories in the prototype problem for tropical cyclone intensification
Wang, Shanghong; Smith, Roger K.
(Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, 2021-07-12)
Data from an idealized three‐dimensional numerical simulation of tropical cyclone intensification are used to calculate Lagrangian air parcel trajectories emanating from the inflow layer that develops beneath the ...
