Abstract
Motivated by prior research examining the myth of inertial stability as a radial
restoring force in the tropical cyclone boundary layer, we explore factors deter mining the vertical velocity at the top of the linear vortex boundary layer.
Possible applications of these findings to mature tropical cyclone vortices are
discussed briefly.
