## Abstract A simple slab model for the boundary layer of a hurricane is reβexamined and a small error in the original calculation is corrected. With this correction, the development of supergradient winds is a ubiquitous feature of the solutions. The boundary layer shows two types of behaviour in

## Abstract The linear model for the steady boundary layer of a rapidly rotating axisymmetric vortex is derived from a detailed scale analysis of the full equations of motion. The previously known analytic solution is reβappraised for vortices of hurricane scale and strength. The internal consisten
## Abstract We examine the formulation and accuracy of various approximations made in representing the boundary layer in simple axisymmetric hurricane models, especially those that assume __strict__ gradient wind balance in the radial direction. Approximate solutions for a steady axisymmetric slab
