Atmospheric and Oceanic Influences on Seasonal Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Landfall Probability
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 14, 28 July 2026.Abstract Modes of tropical atmosphere‐ocean variability, such as the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and Atlantic Meridional Mode (AMM), are useful predictors of seasonal Atlantic tropical cyclone (TC) frequency. However, the percentage of TCs that make landfall has varied widely year‐to‐year since 1980 (13%–75%) and is weakly correlated with the ...

A Field-Driven Growth Model for Uniform Thin-Film Growth
MicromachinesExternally applied electric fields are widely employed during thin-film deposition to improve film uniformity, texture and densification. Despite extensive experimental evidence, the physical mechanisms by which such fields influence nucleation, surface ...

The Azores Countercurrent [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1993 Abstract New light is shed on Worthington's concept of the North Atlantic circulation, postulating the existence of two anticyclonic gyres. This concept, which seems to have been laid to rest in the last decade, has now been reinforced by the results of a simple linear Sverdrup circulation model yielding a band of westward transport all across the ...

SurfacesThe morphology of solid surfaces encodes fundamental information about the physical mechanisms that govern their formation. Here, we reinterpret scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs of oxide thin films as two-dimensional self-affine morphology ...
