Vortex Rossby waves in a numerically simulated tropical cyclone. Part I: Overall structure, potential vorticity, and kinetic energy budgets (2002, background): “Such a low-level wind maximum in the core is unique to real tropical cyclones (Kepert 2001; Kepert and Wang 2001).”
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).”
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…”
Effects of the Cold Core Eddy on Tropical Cyclone Intensity and Structure under Idealized Air–Sea Interaction Conditions (2013, background): “In UNCP there also exists a relatively stronger outflow jet near the top of the planetary boundary layer, which helps maintain the local maximum in tangential winds (Kepert and Wang 2001).”
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).”
Tropical cyclone spin‐up revisited (2009, background): “…flow is a ubiquitous feature of the inner-core boundary layer of a mature storm, a finding supported by the boundary layer calculations of Shapiro (1983), Kepert (2001), Kepert and Wang (2001) and Montgomery et al. (2001) and by the numerical model calculations of Nguyen et al. (2002).”
Tropical Cyclone Intensification from Asymmetric Convection: Energetics and Efficiency (2007, background): “which is the product of the modified Coriolis parameter and the absolute vertical vorticity (Hack and Schubert 1986; Shapiro and Montgomery 1993; 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).”
Dependence of tropical‐cyclone intensification on the boundary‐layer representation in a numerical model (2010, positive): “This feature was found by Zhang et al. (2001), Kepert and Wang (2001) and discussed in M3.”
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): “As discussed in section 5b of Part II, these analyses produce northerly wind shear over the storm for much of the time period, while Schwendike and Kepert (2008) found easterly shear from the NCEP–National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) reanalyses. The absence of upper-level easterly flow in”
