The Slab Boundary Layer Model Underpinning the Boundary Layer Control of Translating Tropical Cyclones: Comparison with an Idealized Three-Dimensional Numerical Simulation
An oft quoted benchmark for understanding the pattern of boundary-layer induced vertical motion in a translating tropical cyclone is based on approximate solutions for a steady slab boundary layer beneath a prescribed, uniformly translating axisymmetric vortex in gradient wind balance. The fidelity…
