Abstract
Additional experiments with the slowly varying axisymmetric hurricane model described by Anthes are presented. Variable horizontal eddy viscosity coefficients are utilized to study circulations that result from an increased heating function and a heating function with a double maximum along the radial direction. Infrared radiative cooling is modeled for the clear tropical atmosphere following Sasamori. A representative cooling rate is used to study the effect of cooling in the hurricane environment on the dynamics and energetics of the slowly varying tropical cyclone.
