Environmental Interactions in the GFDL Hurricane Model for Hurricane Opal (2002, background): “Increased shear is hypothesized to ventilate a pocket of warm air aloft away from the eye of the hurricane, leading to an increase in surface pressure (Gray 1968), or to tilt a balanced vortex such that the thermal field consistent with it is altered and affects the stability of convection (DeMaria ”
Tropical‐cyclone intensification and predictability in three dimensions (2008, background): “Building on the balanced-dynamical interpretations developed by Raymond and Jiang (1990) and Jones (1995), Frank and Ritchie (1999, 2001) have shown that mesoscale ascent achieves saturation in the lower troposphere and causes a shift of the rainfall from the downshear-right quadrant of the storm…”
Multiscale Structure and Evolution of Hurricane Earl (2010) during Rapid Intensification (2015, background): “One explanation for this convective asymmetry is based upon the dry, balanced dynamical evolution of vortex tilt under shear forcing (Jones 1995).”
