• Choosing a Boundary Layer Parameterization for Tropical Cyclone Modeling (2012, methodology): “Foster (2009) considered three different prescribed vertical structures of the turbulent diffusivity with various magnitudes and vertical scales, and found substantial variation.”
• The role of small-scale vortices in enhancing surface winds and damage in Hurricane Harvey (2017) (2018, background): “The HBL exhibits linearly organized coherent structures known as HBL rolls (HBLRs) (Wurman and Winslow 1998; Morrison et al. 2005; Foster 2005).”
• Tropical Cyclone Structure (TCS08) Field Experiment Science Basis, Observational Platforms, and Strategy (2008, methodology): “The aircraft data will also be used to test and improve an updated version of the nonlinear model by Foster (2005, 2008) for roll vortices in curved flow, and thus improve understanding of the non-local, non-gradient contribution to the momentum flux by the boundary layer roll vortices.”
