TLDR
In this article, a scale analysis for large scale tropical motions with diabatic heating due to the latent heat of condensation is given, and the analysis shows that the diabbatic heating term in the thermodynamic energy equation becomes important when the rainfall rate is equal or greater than 2 mm per day.Abstract:

On Formation and Intensification of Tropical Cyclones Through Latent Heat Release by Cumulus Convection
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of latent heat release by deep cumulus convection in a conditionally unstable atmosphere is investigated and a method devised to include this effect directly in the equations for large scale flow is then applied to the hurricane formation problem by incorporating it into timedependent, circular symmetric dynamic hurricane models, either in gradient-wind balance or unbalanced.

On the Growth of the Hurricane Depression
J. G. Charney,Arnt Eliassen +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that cyclones form in a conditionally unstable tropical atmosphere whose vertical thermal structure is apparently more favorable to small-scale cumulus convection than to convective circulations of tropical cyclone scale.

Simulated climatology of a general circulation model with a hydrologic cycle ii. analysis of the tropical atmosphere
TL;DR: The thermal and dynamical structure of the tropical atmosphere which emerged from the numerical integration of our general circulation model with a simple hydrologic cycle is analyzed in detail in this paper.

A numerical experiment on the development of a tropical cyclone
TL;DR: In this article, a model of a tropical cyclone is constructed which is based upon conservation of momentum, mass, water vapor and heat in the hydrostatic system, and the horizontal and vertical eddy exchange processes for momentum, moisture and heat are included in the equations in order to incorporate the planetary frictional (Ekman) layer into the model.
