Corrigendum and addendum: a balanced axisymmetric vortex in a compressible atmosphere
By: Roger K. Smith
Abstract
An error in the calculation by the author of a balanced axisymmetric vortex in a compressible atmosphere is corrected. While the corrected solutions are qualitatively similar to the earlier ones there are some quantitative differences that should be recorded. In particular, the anomalously cold surface temperatures predicted by the earlier calculations are reduced, but the corrected ones would still be large enough to explain at least some of the observed near-surface cooling in tropical cyclones.
