• Rapid Development of the Tropical Cyclone Warm Core (2008, background): “This simple theoretical argument isolates the conditions under which a warmcore thermal structure can rapidly develop in a tropical cyclone and thereby elaborates on the vortex heating efficiency ideas discussed in Shapiro and Willoughby (1982), Schubert and Hack (1982), Hack and Schubert (1986), an”
• Multiscale Observations of Hurricane Dennis (2005): The Effects of Hot Towers on Rapid Intensification (2010, background): “…bursts) in TCs, with new observational information uncovered (Reasor et al. 2009; Houze et al. 2009) and theories on how they fit into the TC genesis and intensification problems presented (Montgomery and Enagonio 1998; Mo¨ller and Montgomery 1999; Nolan and Grasso 2003; Nolan et al. 2007).”
• Rapid Intensification of a Sheared Tropical Storm (2010, background): “Nolan et al. (2007) showed that KEE reached its largest values at inner radii at elevations of 6–10 km.”
• Effects of the Cold Core Eddy on Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Structure under Idealized Air–Sea Interaction Conditions (2013, background): “It indicates that the ocean coupling has notably negative impacts on the storm intensification rate and thus its final intensity since the TC intensity is proportional to the efficiency of the intensification (Nolan et al. 2007).”
• Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, background): “5) and the heating thus has a comparatively large impact on TC intensification (Shapiro and Willoughby 1982; Schubert and Hack 1982; Hack and Schubert 1986; Nolan et al. 2007; Vigh and Schubert 2009; Pendergrass and Willoughby 2009).”
• Tropical cyclogenesis sensitivity to environmental parameters in radiative–convective equilibrium (2007, unknown): “…development, the broad circulation contracts into a TC in a manner similar to the simulations with initial vortices, due to a WISHE feedback and the enhanced trapping of heat and energy released by convection as the local inertial stability increases (Hack and Schubert, 1986; Nolan et al., 2007).”
