In Situ Observations of the Diurnal Variation in the Boundary Layer of Mature Hurricanes
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 Recent studies have suggested that the structure of tropical cyclones (TCs), especially the upper‐level clouds as indicated by satellite infrared brightness temperatures and precipitation, fluctuates with the diurnal cycle.

Evaluation of Hurricane Harvey (2017) Rainfall in Deterministic and Probabilistic HWRF Forecasts
Atmosphere, 2020 Rainfall forecast performance was evaluated for the first time for the Hurricane Weather Research and Forecasting (HWRF) model. This study focused on HWRF performance in predicting rainfall from Hurricane Harvey in 2017. In particular, two configurations

Experimental Assessment of Wind Loads on Roof-to-Wall Connections for Residential Buildings
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 Wind hazards are one of the most disastrous events that frequently occur in the United States. Hurricane Irma, which hit the southeast coast in 2017, left a majority of damage concentrated on low-rise buildings and wooden construction in its wake.

Female hurricanes are deadlier than male hurricanes [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014 Significance Meteorologists and geoscientists have called for greater consideration of social science factors that predict responses to natural hazards. We answer this call by highlighting the influence of an unexplored social factor, gender-based expectations, on the human toll of hurricanes that are assigned gendered names.

Tree damage, growth and phenology after a hurricane in a tropical dry forest in Veracruz
Revista Mexicana de Ciencias Forestales, 2021 As a major disturbance, hurricanes affect growth and phenology of trees. Tree diameters were annually measured for three years, and the phenology of 16 tree species monthly recorded in a seasonally dry tropical forest in Veracruz, Mexico, when on ...

Predicting the Storm Surge Threat of Hurricane Sandy with the National Weather Service SLOSH Model
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2014 Numerical simulations of the storm tide that flooded the US Atlantic coastline during Hurricane Sandy (2012) are carried out using the National Weather Service (NWS) Sea Lakes and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) storm surge prediction model to ...
