Sensitivity of tropical‐cyclone models to the surface drag coefficient in different boundary‐layer schemes (2014, methodology): “(2010) re-examined the sensitivity of tropical cyclones in a three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, cloud-representing numerical model to the surface exchange coefficient of momentum and Smith and Thomsen (2010) examined the sensitivity to the choice of the boundary-layer parametrization with the same e”
Wind and waves in extreme hurricanes (2012, background): “[42] Modeling studies [e.g., Emanuel, 1995; Bryan and Rotunno, 2009] suggest that the maximum potential intensity of tropical cyclones is sensitive to the ratio of the enthalpy coefficient Ce to CD, such that intense cyclones cannot be sustained unless Ce/CD is above some threshold value, ranging…”
Self-Stratification of Tropical Cyclone Outflow. Part I: Implications for Storm Structure (2011, methodology): “We choose to regard ro as the free parameter of the problem, given that it is more or less randomly distributed in nature (Chavas and Emanuel 2010), and determine rm and rt as part of the solution.”
Paradigms for Tropical Cyclone Intensification (2014, methodology): “13d was investigated in Bui et al. (2009). That study built upon those of Hendricks et al.”
Recent Developments in the Fluid Dynamics of Tropical Cyclones (2017, unknown): “…with recently observed estimates from ﬂight-level data in major hurricanes (Zhang & Montgomery 2012), the numerical studies of Persing & Montgomery (2003) and Bryan & Rotunno (2009a) to exceed signiﬁcantly the theoretically predicted PI given by Equation 18 and its modiﬁcations summarized below.”
Effects of Surface Exchange Coefficients and Turbulence Length Scales on the Intensity and Structure of Numerically Simulated Hurricanes (2012, methodology): “However, the exact functional form between wind speed and Ck/Cd has been called into question recently based on some numerical simulations (e.g., Bryan and Rotunno 2009b; Montgomery et al. 2010) and a new analytical model (Emanuel and Rotunno 2011).”
Influence of Tropical Tropopause Layer Cooling on Atlantic Hurricane Activity (2013, methodology): “In the following, we examine in detail 1 The validity of (4) has been challenged by Smith et al. (2008) and examined by others (e.g., Bryan and Rotunno 2009), but an alternative formulation has not been proposed.”
