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. Feminine-

Impacts from SSTs, ENSO, stratospheric QBO and global warming on Hurricanes over the North Atlantic [PDF]
, 2009 Processes affecting hurricane development over the North Atlantic like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are discussed. Global coupled climate model simulations

Large Roll Vortices Exhibited by Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy during Landfall
Atmosphere, 2021 Roll vortices are frequent features of a hurricane’s boundary layer, with kilometer or sub-kilometer horizontal scale. In this study, we found that large roll vortices with O (10 km) horizontal wavelength occurred over land in Post-Tropical Cyclone Sandy
