- The Roles of an Expanding Wind Field and Inertial Stability in Tropical Cyclone Secondary Eyewall Formation (2012, background): “…dominate the behavior of solutions over most of the domain, so our focus here is on I and N. Figure 13a shows that, at 105 h (i.e., C1), the distribution of I decays smoothly outside of a core of elevated I (r # 25 km), consistent with a modified Rankine vortex structure (e.g., Mallen et al. 2005).”
- Tropical Cyclone Intensification from Asymmetric Convection: Energetics and Efficiency (2007, background): “While useful and popular owing to their analytic simplicity, Gaussian vortices have been shown by Mallen et al. (2005) to be unrealistic in their representation of the “outer core” wind fields of tropical cyclones since the Gaussian vorticity goes quickly to zero in the radial distance between 1 a”
- Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, result): “Many of these results are similar to those found in previous studies (e.g., Kossin and Eastin 2001; Mallen et al. 2005; Jiang 2012; Kieper and Jiang 2012).”
- Effects of Surface Exchange Coefficients and Turbulence Length Scales on the Intensity and Structure of Numerically Simulated Hurricanes (2012, background): “Recent studies of flight-level data (usually at 700–800 mb) by Willoughby and Rahn (2004) and Mallen et al. (2005) have found that the radius of maximum winds (RMW) for strong storms (wind .50 m s21) is usually less than ;40 km, and RMW is sometimes as small as ;10 km.”
- Parametric Representation of the Primary Hurricane Vortex. Part II: A New Family of Sectionally Continuous Profiles (2006, background): “This result is consistent with the argument of Mallen et al. (2005) that hurricanes in nature are more resistant to environmental shear than these theoretical arguments lead one to expect.”
- Multiscale Observations of Hurricane Dennis (2005): The Effects of Hot Towers on Rapid Intensification (2010, background): “The aircraft passes and their azimuthal coverage over a certain time period provide an effective measure of the axisymmetric part of the flow valid as an average over the time interval chosen (similar to Mallen et al. 2005).”
- Rapid Development of the Tropical Cyclone Warm Core (2008, background): “In real hurricanes the variation of inertial stability with radius (Mallen et al. 2005; Holland and Merrill 1984) is somewhat smoother, so there is a more gradual change from the inefficient response to diabatic heating outside the radius of maximum wind to the efficient response inside this radius.”
- Secondary eyewall formation in two idealized, full-physics modeled hurricanes (2008, background): “[73] The beta-skirt axisymmetrization (BSA) formation hypothesis begins with an updated view of a mature tropical cyclone structure, one with a low-level b-skirt as seen in composite observations [Mallen et al., 2005].”
