Intensity fluctuations in Hurricane Irma (2017) during a period of rapid intensification [PDF]
Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2022 Abstract. This study aims to understand the fluctuations observed in Hurricane Irma (2017), which change the tangential wind speed and the size of the radius of maximum surface wind and therefore affect short-term destructive potential. Intensity fluctuations observed during a period of rapid intensification of Hurricane Irma between 4 and 6 September ...

Development of a Flash Drought Intensity Index
Atmosphere, 2021 Flash droughts are characterized by a period of rapid intensification over sub-seasonal time scales that culminates in the rapid emergence of new or worsening drought impacts.

Rapid Intensification of Typhoon Mujigae (2015) under Different Sea Surface Temperatures: Structural Changes Leading to Rapid Intensification [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2018 Abstract The notable prelandfall rapid intensification (RI) of Typhoon Mujigae (2015) over abnormally warm water with moderate vertical wind shear (VWS) is investigated by performing a set of full-physics model simulations initialized with different sea surface temperatures (SSTs).

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The problem of tropical cyclone rapid intensification is reduced to a potential vorticity (PV) equation and a second order, inhomogeneous, partial differential equation for the azimuthal wind.

A Triggering Mechanism for Rapid Intensification of Tropical Cyclones [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2015 Triggering processes for the rapidly intensifying phase of a tropical cyclone (TC) were investigated on the basis of numerical experiments using a three-dimensional nonhydrostatic model. The results revealed that the rapid intensification of the simulated TC commenced following the formation of a circular cloud, which occurred about 12 h after the TC ...

Atmosphere, 2021 A warm ocean feature (WOF) is a blob of the ocean’s surface where the sea-surface temperature (SST) is anomalously warmer than its adjacent ambient SST. Examples are warm coastal seas in summer, western boundary currents, and warm eddies. Several studies

Environmental Research Communications, 2023 Previous publications have highlighted the relationship between several climate modes such as El Niño–Southern Oscillation and tropical cyclones (TCs) experiencing rapid intensification (RI) over the western North Pacific (WNP), particularly on a 3–7-yr ...

A Shortening of the Life Cycle of Major Tropical Cyclones
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 In this study a comprehensive picture of the changing intensity life cycle of major (Category 3 and higher) tropical cyclones (TCs) is presented. Over the past decades, the lifetime maximum intensity has increased, but there has also been a significant ...

Rapid strengthening of westerlies accompanied intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractThe trigger, pace, and nature of the intensification of Northern Hemisphere Glaciation (iNHG) are uncertain, but can be probed by study of ODP Site 1208 North Pacific marine sediments. Herein, we present magnetic proxy data that indicate a 4-fold increase of dust between ~ 2.73 and ~ 2.72 Ma, with subsequent increases at the start of glacials ...
