Review article:
The fluid dynamics of tropical cyclones (Montgomery and Smith 2017)
Buoyancy in rapidly-rotating vortices (Smith, Montgomery & Zhu, 2005)
Accurate determination of a balanced axisymmetric vortex. (Smith 2006)

Why Do Model Tropical Cyclones Intensify More Rapidly at Low Latitudes?(Smith, Kilroy & Montgomery, 2015)
Why do model tropical cyclones grow progressively in size and
decay in intensity after reaching maturity? (Kilroy, Smith & Montgomery, 2015)
