An Analytic Model of the Wind and Pressure Profiles in Hurricanes
TLDR
In this paper, an analytic model of the radial profiles of sea level pressure and winds in a hurricane is presented, which is shown to be generally superior to two other widely used models and is considered to be a valuable aid in operational forecasting and case studies.Abstract:
An analytic model of the radial profiles of sea level pressure and winds in a hurricane is presented. The equations contain two parameters which may be empirically estimated from observations in a hurricane or determined climatologically to define a standard hurricane; example are given. The model is shown to be generally superior to two other widely used models and is considered to be a valuable aid in operational forecasting, case studies and engineering work.read more

The dependence of hurricane intensity on climate
TL;DR: In this article, a simple Carnot cycle model was used to estimate the maximum intensity of tropical cyclones under the somewhat warmer conditions expected to result from increased atmospheric CO2 content.

The Maximum Potential Intensity of Tropical Cyclones
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamic approach to estimate the maximum potential intensity (MPI) of tropical cyclones is described and compared with observations and previous studies, which requires an atmospheric temperature sounding, SST, and surface pressure; including the oceanic feedback of increasing moist entropy associated with falling surface pressure over a steady SST.

TL;DR: This article showed that, despite projected reductions in tropical cyclone frequency, projected increases in demographic pressure and tropical cyclones intensity can be expected to exacerbate disaster risk, even with reported losses.

Simulation of hurricane risk in the u.s. using empirical track model
TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for modeling hurricane risk in the United States is described, where, for each hurricane, the entire track as it crosses the ocean and makes landfall is modeled.
