Prevention of destructive tropical and extratropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, dangerous thunderstorms, and catastrophic floods [PDF]

Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2002
Tropical cyclones and storms, hurricanes, powerful thunderclouds, which generate tornadoes, destructive extratropical cyclones, which result in catastrophic floods, are the powerful cloud systems that contain huge amount of water.

Synoptic perspective on the conversion and maintenance of local available potential energy in extratropical cyclones [PDF]

Weather and Climate Dynamics
Extratropical cyclones are the predominant weather system in the midlatitudes. They intensify through baroclinic instability, a process in which available potential energy (APE) is converted into kinetic energy (KE).

Source‐to‐sink sediment transport reversals during glacial sea‐level lowstands sustain soil formation on pericoastal carbonate terrains

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Influences of surface heat flux on twin cyclone structure during their explosive development over the East Asian marginal seas on 23 January 2008

Weather and Climate Extremes, 2019
The formation of explosively developing twin extratropical cyclones is investigated for background conditions involving a transition from double jets to a single jet.

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.

Global increase in destructive potential of extratropical transition events in response to greenhouse warming

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science, 2023
When tropical cyclones (TCs) move to the mid-latitudes, they oftentimes undergo extratropical transition (ET) by which they lose their symmetry and warm-core characteristics.

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local

Ocean Meanders Modulate Extratropical Cyclone Energetics

Geophysical Research Letters
Extratropical cyclones primarily develop over the western parts of ocean basins, where strong sea surface temperature (SST) contrasts form along western boundary currents.
