Towards understanding the tropical cyclone life cycle by Roger K. Smith, Michael T. Montgomery

“…Many of the ideas are illustrated by two simple laboratory experiments.In the other axisymmetric framework, the so-called WISHE framework the material conservation of absolute angular momentum is dispensed with in favour of assuming that the saturated moist equivalent potential vorticity is everywhere zero. This assumption limits the applicability of the WISHE framework at best to a small portion of the storm’s life cycle, even if one were able to justify the implicit angular momentum source thereby introduced. …”
