• Parametric Representation of the Primary Hurricane Vortex. Part II: A New Family of Sectionally Continuous Profiles (2006, unknown): “In the first paper of this series (Willoughby and Rahn 2004, hereafter Part I), we showed that the most commonly used analytical representation of hurricane winds’ radial structure (Holland 1980) suffers from systematic errors.”
• Reexamining the Near-Core Radial Structure of the Tropical Cyclone Primary Circulation: Implications for Vortex Resiliency (2005, background): “The HRD flight-level data archive is well suited for investigating the axisymmetric TC structure (Willoughby and Rahn 2004).”
• A revised hurricane pressure-wind model (2008, background): “(11) and by other studies such as H80 and Willoughby and Rahn (2004).”
• Sensitivity of the Simulated Tropical Cyclone Inner-Core Size to the Initial Vortex Size* (2010, background): “0281u), by Willoughby and Rahn (2004). The gridded surface is the fit.”
• Statistical Models of Holland Pressure Profile Parameter and Radius to Maximum Winds of Hurricanes from Flight-Level Pressure and H*Wind Data (2008, methodology): “Willoughby and Rahn (2004) used the same flightlevel dataset used here to estimate B, deriving their estimates of B by minimizing a cost function incorporating both wind speed and pressure (as defined by geopotential height).”
• Effects of Surface Exchange Coefficients and Turbulence Length Scales on the Intensity and Structure of Numerically Simulated Hurricanes (2012, background): “Recent studies of flight-level data (usually at 700–800 mb) by Willoughby and Rahn (2004) and Mallen et al. (2005) have found that the radius of maximum winds (RMW) for strong storms (wind .50 m s21) is usually less than ;40 km, and RMW is sometimes as small as ;10 km.”
