Do Extratropical Cyclones Impact Synoptic‐Scale Variability of the Arctic Oscillation During Cold Season?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
The Arctic Oscillation (AO) is the most significant mode of sea level pressure (SLP) anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere, exhibiting significant multiple‐timescale variability from synoptic to decadal.

How interference between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the tropical Indo‐Pacific convection modulates wave trains along the subtropical jet: Impacts on the Asian winter climate

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study reveals that the combined effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and anomalous Indo‐Pacific Walker circulation on the excitation of the wave train along the wintertime subtropical jet strongly depend on their phase combination. Their impacts interfere constructively or destructively over South Asia, leading to notable differences in

Transport and mixing of chemical air masses in idealized baroclinic life cycles

open access: yes, 2007
The transport, mixing, and three- dimensional evolution of chemically distinct air masses within growing baroclinic waves are studied in idealized, high- resolution, life cycle experiments using suitably initialized passive tracers, contrasting the two ...

The influence of solar wind on extratropical cyclones – Part 2: A link mediated by auroral atmospheric gravity waves? [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2009
Cases of mesoscale cloud bands in extratropical cyclones are observed a few hours after atmospheric gravity waves (AGWs) are launched from the auroral ionosphere.

Recurving tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific are stronger than non‐recurving ones: Causes and implications

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study investigates the statistical characteristics of recurving tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP). We find that recurving TCs are, on average, 38% stronger than non‐recurving TCs, owing to longer ocean exposure, fewer landfalls, and passage through warmer, more favorable thermal environments.

Detection and global climatology of two types of spatio-temporal clustering of extratropical cyclones [PDF]

open access: yesWeather and Climate Dynamics
The swift succession of multiple extratropical cyclones during a short period of time is often associated with weather extremes and characterised by a strong atmospheric jet and enhanced baroclinicity.

Reassessing sixteenth and seventeenth century written accounts of hurricanes in the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
Abstract While the North Atlantic’s five‐century hurricane history is among the most complete globally, the earliest centuries are poorly documented in the written record. This study reassesses a subset of sixteenth to seventeenth‐century tropical cyclones (TCs) through a systematic review of archival evidence, mainly from Spain’s colonial archive, the

Extratropical cyclones – a forecaster's perspective [PDF]

open access: yesMeteorological Applications, 1997
AbstractDespite considerable improvements in numerical models in recent years, weather events associated with extratropical cyclones continue to present forecasters with a challenge. For most cyclogenesis events model forecasts display, at the least, subtle errors in track and intensity of the system.

Extreme rainfall in southern China in April 2024 and its potential link to weather events across south Asia

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
This study documents the unseasonal and prolonged heavy rain events which occurred in southern China during April 2024. In this series of extreme rainfall events, Guangdong province recorded extreme rainfall exceeding 6‐sigma of climatology, with eleven cities reporting record‐breaking rainfall.

Predictability and dynamics of potential vorticity streamers and connections to high impact weather [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Narrow potential vorticity (PV) intrusions across the tropopause (PV streamers) are interconnected with surface high- and low- pressure systems and frequently present during high-impact weather in the mid-latitudes. They often form during the breaking of
