Vortex Rossby waves in a numerically simulated tropical cyclone. Part I: Overall structure, potential vorticity, and kinetic energy budgets (2002, result): “Such an inward transport of PV by the vortex Rossby waves is also found in previous studies using barotropic models (Schubert et al. 1999; Montgomery and Kallenbach 1997 .”
The Role of “Vortical” Hot Towers in the Formation of Tropical Cyclone Diana (1984) (2004, background): “In a different light, ME98 and Möller and Montgomery (2000) demonstrated that low-level vortex merger and axisymmetrization of small-scale diabatically generated cyclonic potential vorticity (PV) anomalies (from hot-tower-like ‘‘convective bursts’’) could intensify a larger-scale vortex on…”
Tropical Cyclone Intensification from Asymmetric Convection: Energetics and Efficiency (2007, background): “…often lead to an intensification of the symmetric circulation, in terms of either azimuthally averaged wind speed or kinetic energy (Carr and Williams 1989; Mont-gomery and Kallenbach 1997; Nolan and Farrell 1999b; Möller and Montgomery 1999, 2000; Enagonio and Montgomery 2001; Shapiro 2000).”
Secondary eyewall formation in two idealized, full-physics modeled hurricanes (2008, background): “Other results [Molinari and Skubis, 1985; Molinari and Vallaro, 1989 ] have suggested that large-scale environmental forcings, such as inflow surges or upper-level angular momentum fluxes from intruding potential vorticity anomalies, may be causes of general eyewall formation.”
Nonhydrostatic, Three-Dimensional Perturbations to Balanced, Hurricane-like Vortices. Part I: Linearized Formulation, Stability, and Evolution (2002, background): “Such axisymmetrization and inward angular momentum transport appear to be a viable mechanism for tropical cyclogenesis and intensity change in hurricanes (Montgomery and Enagonio 1998; Nolan and Farrell 1999b; Mo¨ller and Montgomery 1999, 2000; Shapiro 2000).”
Tropical‐cyclone intensification and predictability in three dimensions (2008, background): “Building on the balanced dynamical interpretations developed by Raymond and Jiang (1990) and Jones (1995), Frank and Ritchie (1999) showed that mesoscale ascent achieved saturation in the lower troposphere and caused a shift of the rainfall from the downshear-right quadrant of the storm to the downs”
Nonhydrostatic, Three-Dimensional Perturbations to Balanced, Hurricane-Like Vortices. Part II: Symmetric Response and Nonlinear Simulations (2003, background): “…of that vortex, in terms of its maximum wind speeds or total kinetic energy (Carr and Williams 1989; Smith and Montgomery 1995; Montgomery and Kallenbach 1997; Montgomery and Enagonio 1998; Nolan and Farrell 1999a,b; Möller and Montgomery 1999, 2000; Shapiro 2000; Enagonio and Montgomery 2001).”
Vortex Rossby Waves in a Numerically Simulated Tropical Cyclone. Part II: The Role in Tropical Cyclone Structure and Intensity Changes* (2002, background): “…MacDonald (1968), it was not until recent years that the dynamics of these vortex Rossby waves in hurricanelike vortex were clarified theoretically (Montgomery and Kallenbach 1997; Montgomery and Lu 1997; Montgomery and Enagonio 1998; Guinn and Schubert 1993; Schubert et al. 1999; Möller and…”
