Modulation of South Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones by the Madden–Julian Oscillation and Convectively Coupled Equatorial Waves (2006, result): “…of the zero line during category 2, with large positive zonal shear poleward, and large negative zonal shear equatorward of the TCs, is entirely consistent with what has previously been observed (e.g., McBride and Zehr 1981) and modeled (e.g., Wong and Chan 2004) to be favorable for TC development.”
A new paradigm for intensity modification of tropical cyclones: Thermodynamic impact of vertical wind shear on the inflow layer (2009, background): “Due to the interaction with the TC, however, the shear magnitude and direction can be significantly modified (e.g. Wong and Chan, 2004).”
