• Multiscale Observations of Hurricane Dennis (2005): The Effects of Hot Towers on Rapid Intensification (2010, background): “The prevalence for convection to develop in the downshear to downshear left quadrants is a well-recognized phenomena (Frank and Ritchie 2001; Corbosiero and Molinari 2002; Braun et al. 2006; Guimond 2007; Reasor et al. 2009).”
• Importance of the upper‐level warm core in the rapid intensification of a tropical cyclone (2012, background): “…of VWS in a deep layer on hurricane intensity through the downshear tilt and horizontal ventilation of the core warmth [Wang and Holland, 1996; Frank and Ritchie, 2001; Black et al., 2002], little attention has been paid to horizontal wind intensity and structures in the upper warm-core and…”
• Effect of environmental shear, sea‐surface temperature, and ambient moisture on the formation and predictability of tropical cyclones: An ensemble‐mean perspective (2014, background): “The recovery of a TC-like vortex from the adverse effects of vertical wind shear may be accelerated by the contribution of moist convection in the TC inner-core region [Frank and Ritchie, 1999, 2001; Zhang and Tao, 2013].”

• Tropical Cyclone Intensification from Asymmetric Convection: Energetics and Efficiency (2007, background): “…convection patterns in developing tropical cyclones have been seen or inferred in both observations (Simpson et al. 1998; Lonfat et al. 2004; Reasor et al. 2005) and numerical models (Frank and Ritchie 2001; Davis and Bosart 2002; Hendricks et al. 2004; Montgmery et al. 2006; Nolan 2007).”
• Tropical‐cyclone intensification and predictability in three dimensions (2008, background): “…focused on the effects of non-trivial vertical wind shear across a developing or mature vortex (e.g. Frank and Ritchie, 1999; Reasor et al., 2000; Frank and Ritchie, 2001; Black et al., 2002; Schecter and Montgomery, 2003; Rogers et al., 2003; Reasor et al., 2004); others have examined the…”
• Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, background): “Another explanation for the shearinduced convective asymmetry relates convective organization to vorticity balance on the vortex scale (Willoughby et al. 1984; Bender 1997; Frank and Ritchie 2001).”
