The dynamics of boundary layer jets within the tropical cyclone core. Part II: Nonlinear enhancement

Observations of wind profiles within the tropical cyclone boundary layer until recently have been quite rate. However, the recent spate of observations from the GPS dropsonde have confirmed that a low-level wind speed maximum is a common feature of the tropical cyclone boundary layer.
