In section 3b of Menelaou et al. (2016), there is a misstatement regarding the definition of the radius that may lead to some confusion. The correct definition of is the radius at which . In other words, is located where the basic-state relative vorticity is peaked. The first paragraph of section 4a contains a related misstatement that the radial derivative of basic-state angular velocity is negative for . With the correct definition of , a more accurate claim is that for radii appreciably beyond the edge of the vortex core.
