• Vortex Rossby waves in a numerically simulated tropical cyclone. Part I: Overall structure, potential vorticity, and kinetic energy budgets (2002, background): “…wind maximum in the boundary layer about 500 m above the sea surface Such a low-level wind maximum in the core is unique to real tropical cyclones (Kepert 2001; Kepert and Wang 2001) Strong inflow occurs in the boundary layer below 800 hPa with maximum inflow of about 26 m s (cid:50) 1 just outside…”
• Sensitivity of tropical‐cyclone models to the surface drag coefficient in different boundary‐layer schemes (2014, background): “140: 792–804 (2014) 798 R. K. Smith et al. inflow generally increases with increasing CD (Figure 1 of Kepert, 2001).”
• Effects of Surface Exchange Coefficients and Turbulence Length Scales on the Intensity and Structure of Numerically Simulated Hurricanes (2012, result): “1) at the location of Vmax, which is consistent with previous studies (e.g., Rott and Lewellen 1966; Kuo 1971; Kepert 2001; Kepert and Wang 2001; Zhang et al. 2001; Smith et al. 2008).”
• Evaluation of Planetary Boundary Layer Parameterizations in Tropical Cyclones by Comparison of In Situ Observations and High-Resolution Simulations of Hurricane Isabel (2003). Part I: Initialization, Maximum Winds, and the Outer-Core Boundary Layer (2009, background): “These features, which were anticipated in the more theoretical studies of Shapiro (1983) and Kepert (2001), are now recognized as typical for the low-level, inner-core circulation of a mature hurricane.”
• Tropical cyclone spin‐up revisited (2009, background): “The absolute angular momentum field is similar also to that in Experiment 1, but the inward displacement of the contours is less, consistent, of course, with the weaker vortex (compare Figure 9(d) with Figure 7(d)).”
• A new paradigm for intensity modification of tropical cyclones: Thermodynamic impact of vertical wind shear on the inflow layer (2009, background): “In the context of simplified boundary layer models, asymmetric frictional forcing due to storm motion has been shown to also force convective asymmetries (Shapiro, 1983; Kepert, 2001; Kepert and Wang, 2001).”
• Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, background): “Furthermore, boundary layer theories for a well-developed steady-state TC involving no interaction with eyewall heating (e.g., Kepert 2001; Kepert and Wang 2001; Smith et al. 2008) indicate that boundary layer convergence tends to reach a maximum around the RMW, with the exact radial location…”
