Tropospheric ozone layers observed during PEM-Tropics B by Avery, Melody A., Barrick, John D. W., Sachse, Glen W., Gregory, Gerald L., Thouret, Valerie, Cho, John Y. N., Evans, Mathew J., Newell, Reginald E.

“…In this paper we analyze distinct layers seen in the tropospheric ozone and water vapor profiles taken during NASA's Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Pacific Exploratory Mission in the Tropical Pacific (PEM-Tropics) Phase B campaign. In summary, fewer layers were observed in this campaign than during the PEM-Tropics A campaign. …”

Midlevel Ventilation's Constraint on Tropical Cyclone Intensity by Tang, Brian Hong-An, Emanuel, Kerry Andrew

“…Midlevel ventilation, or the flux of low-entropy air into the inner core of a tropical cyclone (TC), is a hypothesized mechanism by which environmental vertical wind shear can constrain a tropical cyclone’s intensity. …”

On the Role of Surface Fluxes and WISHE in Tropical Cyclone Intensification by Emanuel, Kerry Andrew, Zhang, Fuqing Zhang

“…The authors show that the feedback between surface wind and surface enthalpy flux is an important influence on tropical cyclone evolution, even though, as with at least some classical instability mechanisms, such a feedback is not strictly necessary. …”
