Clouds in Tropical Cyclones (2010, methodology): “This structure is consistent with the updraft tilting the environmental horizontal vorticity into the vertical to produce a vortex couplet in midlevels, as described by Rotunno (1981) and Montgomery et al. (2006).”
Convective Contribution to the Genesis of Hurricane Ophelia (2005) (2009, background): “stratiform region is available to be axisymmetrized into the larger circulation of the depression (Montgomery et al. 2006), thus, helping the depression intensify and”
Do tropical cyclones intensify by WISHE? (2009, background): “Moreover, it has achieved widespread acceptance in tropical weather briefings, dynamic meteorology textbooks (e.g. Holton, 2004; Asnani, 2005), and current literature (Lighthill, 1998; Smith, 2003; Molinari et al., 2004; Montgomery et al., 2006).”
Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, background): “…Zhang 2013; Zhang and Chen 2012; Guimond et al. 2010; Heymsfield et al. 2001) and to the stretching and subsequent axisymmetrization of low-level vorticity collocated with the updraft in vortical hot towers (VHTs; Houze et al. 2009; Reasor et al. 2009; Montgomery et al. 2006;Hendricks et al. 2004).”
Evolution of convection during tropical cyclogenesis (2007, background): “the level of maximum vertical mass flux) and a concentration of the inflow at low levels as cyclone precursors intensified [Raymond et al., 1998]. [5] An alternative perspective on cyclogenesis was developed by Simpson et al. [1997], who noted that the low-level vortex appears to develop in conjunct”
Tropical cyclogenesis in a tropical wave critical layer: easterly waves (2008, background): “Leaving aside frontier matters concerning the formulation and accuracy of current PI theory (Emanuel, 2005; Montgomery et al., 2006a; Smith et al., 2008) actual hurricane intensities form a continuous probability distribution function (PDF) bounded above by a limiting intensity.”
Tropical cyclogenesis sensitivity to environmental parameters in radiative–convective equilibrium (2007, background): “…more important, due to the important roles of downdraughts and mid-level entrainment in delaying the genesis process (Rotunno and Emanuel, 1987; Bister and Emanuel, 1997; Nolan, 2007), and the role of small-scale vorticity dynamics in promoting it (Hendricks et al., 2004; Montgomery et al., 2006).”
Tropical Cyclone Intensification from Asymmetric Convection: Energetics and Efficiency (2007, background): “This structure is inspired by latent heating in tropical convection as observed by satellite platforms (Olson et al. 1999, 2002, 2006; Yang et al. 2002) and simulated in numerical models (Hen-dricks et al. 2004; Montgomery et al. 2006).”
Secondary eyewall formation in two idealized, full-physics modeled hurricanes (2008, methodology): “In our simulations, we exclusively utilize the simpler one-moment schemes with the exception of pristine ice [ Montgomery et al., 2006, Appendix A]. We have run two simulations for this work.”
Recent Developments in the Fluid Dynamics of Tropical Cyclones (2017, positive): “For example, Hurricane Isabel (2003) exceeded its predicted PI for three consecutive days (Montgomery et al. 2006a, Bell & Montgomery 2008).”
Characteristics of Deep Tropical and Subtropical Convection from Nadir-Viewing High-Altitude Airborne Doppler Radar (2010, background): “…towers and vortical hot towers in tropical cyclones since they may have important implications for tropical cyclone intensiﬁca-tion, as shown by both theoretical (e.g., Montgomery et al. 2006) and observational (e.g., Simpson et al. 1998; Heymsﬁeld et al. 2001, 2006; Guimond et al. 2010) studies.”
Rapid Intensification of a Sheared Tropical Storm (2010, background): “Even storms with small ambient shear have asymmetric structure during deepening in the form of VHTs (Eastin et al. 2005; Montgomery et al. 2006; Nolan 2007; Rogers 2010).”
Tropical cyclone spin‐up revisited (2009, background): “While parts of this scenario were speculative until now, the model is consistent with flight-level and radar observations of the inner core at low levels in hurricane Hugo (Marks et al. 2008) and hurricane Isabel (Montgomery et al., 2006b; Aberson et al., 2006), and it is consistent with the calcula”
Tropical‐cyclone intensification and predictability in three dimensions (2008, methodology): “…manage to penetrate the boundary layer will dilute the high entropy content of the boundary layer, thereby rendering the lower troposphere less susceptible to deep convective activity and therefore to the buoyancy-induced convergence of angular momentum at low levels (Montgomery et al., 2006a).”
Paradigms for Tropical Cyclone Intensification (2014, result): “(2001) showed that the azimuthally-averaged tangential winds above the boundary layer satisfy gradient wind balance to within a relative error of 10%, the main regions of imbalance being in the eyewall and, of course, in the boundary layer (see also, Persing and Montgomery 2003, Appendix A).
