  In this series of papers, an analytical theory for the early stage (tropical
storm stage) of hurricane development is proposed. In Part I, a linear theory
and a nonlinear theory have been formulated. It was found in Part I that the
linear theory, a kind of the 2D Rankine vortex, gives some unrealistic
properties for hurricane development at the upper half of the atmosphere. In
the nonlinear theory, the analytical solutions agree well in many dynamical
respects with observations at the tropical stage of hurricane development.
Particularly, these solutions offer new insights which have not been shown
before. However, this nonlinear theory has a disturbing point: a discontinuity
of tangential wind and geopotential with radius. In this second Part, this
discontinuity will be eliminated satisfactorily without any significant changes
to the results obtained in Part I. In addition, the frictional effects will be
investigated, which has not been done considered in Part I.
