Climate Change and the Future Impacts of Storm-Surge Disasters in Developing Countries [PDF]

open access: yes
As the climate changes during the 21st century, larger cyclonic storm surges and growing populations may collide in disasters of unprecedented size. As conditions worsen, variations in coastal morphology will magnify the effects in some areas, while ...

Performance evaluation of regional weather predictions with the Model for Prediction Across Scales – Atmosphere (MPAS‐A) over the Maritime Continent

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
As part of the ongoing efforts to develop next‐generation forecasting systems at the Meteorological Service Singapore, this study presents the setup and evaluation of the SINGV_NG(MPAS) system. Overall, the SINGV_NG(MPAS) system outperforms European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) deterministic forecasts in capturing heavy rainfall ...

Assessing high‐resolution numerical models and bottom‐boundary factors for a Mediterranean heavy precipitation event

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
State‐of‐the‐art, convection‐permitting NWP models reproduced the main features of the October 22–23, 2019 heavy precipitation event in Catalonia. However, slight configuration changes yielded varying streamflow responses and statistical performance, highlighting the challenge of simulating these events in Mediterranean medium‐sized basins ...

Near‐resonant excitation of the Adriatic barotropic modes: The seiche events of December 2019

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This study examines severe flooding in the northern Adriatic Sea in December 2019, which existing forecasting systems failed to predict. Analysis of wind and sea‐level data, alongside reanalysis datasets and a high‐resolution hydrodynamic model, revealed a wind‐induced resonance mechanism.

Modulation of wind drag by tidal currents in an embayment

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Tidal currents modulate how wind energy enters the surface wave field by influencing both wave drag and wave generation. In Shark Bay, following currents reduce effective wave steepness and wind drag, and opposing currents enhance wave growth. Wind energy is partitioned between wave drag and the creation of new waves, explaining observed tidal ...
