Resilience to climate shocks in the tropics [PDF]

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
Abstract This focus collection on resilience to climate shocks in the tropics draws together 16 papers that predominantly examine the impacts of, and responses to, the 2015/2016 El Niño-Southern Oscillation event, in a range of contexts.

Tropical cyclones and climate change

open access: yesTropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2019
Since the Eighth International Workshop on Tropical Cyclones (IWTC-8), held in December 2014, progress has been made in our understanding of the relationship between tropical cyclone (TC) characteristics, climate and climate change. New analysis of observations has revealed trends in the latitude of maximum TC intensity and in TC translation speed ...

Climate and Circulation of the Tropics [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987
This is a very comprehensive effort in numerous important areas, such as interannual variability, regional circulation, climatology, tropical glaciers, and past climates. The emphasis, in most of these areas, would be called “climatological.” It is quite detailed, full of adequate references and historical accounts. The approach is descriptive. However,

Phytoplankton influences on tropical climate [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2002
We study the effect of ocean biology on tropical surface temperatures using a simplified coupled atmosphere‐ocean model. It is shown that moderate phytoplankton blooms, occuring e.g. during La Niña conditions, lead to a vertical redistribution of heat in the surface layers and an associated surface layer warming of about 20 W/m2.

Tropical cyclones and climate change

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, 2015
Recent research has strengthened the understanding of the links between climate and tropical cyclones (TCs) on various timescales. Geological records of past climates have shown century‐long variations in TC numbers. While no significant trends have been identified in the Atlantic since the late 19th century, significant observed trends in TC numbers ...

Recent climatic trends in the tropical Atlantic

open access: yesClimate Dynamics, 2014
A homogeneous monthly data set of sea surface temperature (SST) and pseudo wind stress based on in situ observations is used to investigate the climatic trends over the tropical Atlantic during the last five decades (1964–2012). After a decrease of SST by about 1 °C during 1964–1975, most apparent in the northern tropical region, the entire tropical ...

Tropical cyclones in climate models

open access: yesWIREs Climate Change, 2015
In this review, we provide a historical overview of the simulation of tropical cyclones (TCs) in climate models, from the first attempts in the 1970s to the current state‐of‐the‐art models. We discuss the status of TC simulation across multiple time scales, from intraseasonal, seasonal, and decadal, to climate change.
