• Parametric Representation of the Primary Hurricane Vortex. Part II: A New Family of Sectionally Continuous Profiles (2006, background): “The vorticity decreases steadily from the center outward, as in the regime 1 profiles described by Kossin and Eastin (2001).”
• Importance of the upper‐level warm core in the rapid intensification of a tropical cyclone (2012, background): “…of enthalpyrich air by supergradient outflows in the eye boundary layer, as first shown by Liu et al. [1999], has been hypothesized as being favorable for the development of CBs [Kossin and Eastin, 2001; Eastin et al., 2005; Braun et al., 2006; Braun and Wu, 2007; Barnes and Fuentes, 2010].”

• Rapid Filamentation Zones in Intense Tropical Cyclones. (2006, background): “Observed flows in intensifying TCs sometimes resemble an idealized circular flow with a thin annular ring of enhanced vorticity (Kossin and Eastin 2001).”
• Convective-Scale Structure and Evolution during a High-Resolution Simulation of Tropical Cyclone Rapid Intensification (2010, background): “The vorticity continues to show a maximum at the center of the storm, but now a secondary maximum is seen between 6-and 10-km altitude at 30-km radius, consistent with radial profiles of vorticity for intensifying TCs documented in flight-level data from Kossin and Eastin (2001).”
• A New Look at the Problem of Tropical Cyclones in Vertical Shear Flow: Vortex Resiliency (2004, background): “Strong TCs are often characterized by relatively sharp radial gradients of vorticity in the eyewall region (Marks et al. 1992; Reasor et al. 2000; Kossin and Eastin 2001), so the Gaussian structure employed here is a less ideal approximation at large Rossby number.”
• Reexamining the Near-Core Radial Structure of the Tropical Cyclone Primary Circulation: Implications for Vortex Resiliency (2005, methodology): “0 m s 1 for the NOAA WP-3D and USAF WC-130 aircraft, respectively (OFCM 1993; Kossin and Eastin 2001).”
• Nonhydrostatic, Three-Dimensional Perturbations to Balanced, Hurricane-like Vortices. Part I: Linearized Formulation, Stability, and Evolution (2002, background): “…more and more frequently observed, due to the ever-increasing resolution of both observational techniques (Kuo et al. 1999; Reasor et al. 2000; Kossin and Eastin 2001; Daida and Barnes 2000) and numerical simulations (Liu et al. 1997, 1999; Braun et al. 2000; Braun and Tau 2000; Fulton 2001;…”
