• Dependence of tropical‐cyclone intensification on the boundary‐layer representation in a numerical model (2010, unknown): “In doing this it needs to be kept in mind that we are comparing six deterministic calculations when it is known from the work of Nguyen et al. (2008) and Shin and Smith (2008) that, because of the intrinsically stochastic nature of deep convection, small differences between individual calculations…”
• Effect of environmental shear, sea‐surface temperature, and ambient moisture on the formation and predictability of tropical cyclones: An ensemble‐mean perspective (2014, background): “…may ultimately limit the predictability of tropical cyclones; even very small and virtually unnoticeable differences in the initial conditions can dramatically alter the development of a TC [e.g., Sippel and Zhang, 2008, 2010; Nguyen et al., 2008; Zhang and Sippel, 2009; Munsell et al., 2013].”
• Recent Developments in the Fluid Dynamics of Tropical Cyclones (2017, unknown): “3, the findings of Persing et al. (2013) suggest that previous studies using strictly axisymmetric models and their attendant phenomenology of axisymmetric convective rings have intrinsic limitations for understanding the intensification process.”
• Sensitivity of tropical‐cyclone models to the surface drag coefficient in different boundary‐layer schemes (2014, methodology): “Based on the findings in Nguyen et al. (2008), which show a spread on the order of 10 m s−1 in the maximum azimuthally-averaged tangential velocity amongst ensemble members during the intensification phase, the differences between runs that are less than this amount would not be regarded as…”
• Tropical Cyclone Structure (TCS08) Field Experiment Science Basis, Observational Platforms, and Strategy (2008, background): “…the typhoon life cycle are required for documenting the structure and structure changes in this hypothesis test. e. Supporting numerical experiments Nguyen et al. (2008) have concluded from numerical model experiments that an intrinsic uncertainty exists in the prediction of maximum intensity that…”
• Tropical cyclogenesis in a tropical wave critical layer: easterly waves (2008, background): “The latter definition is more strict and arguably impractical for the chaotic dynamics of geophysical turbulence as it would require observations on all relevant scales, accurate and fine enough to overcome (with predictive capability, too) the uncertainties of vortex aggregation and triggering of d”
• A new paradigm for intensity modification of tropical cyclones: Thermodynamic impact of vertical wind shear on the inflow layer (2009, background): “The theory has not yet been extended to account for the secondary circulation of a TC.”
