Using the Debiased Brier Skill Score to Evaluate S2S Tropical Cyclone Forecasting

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
To evaluate tropical cyclone forecasting on synoptic timescale, tracking and intensity are used. On subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) timescale, what aspects of tropical cyclones should be predicted and how to evaluate forecasting skills still remain open ...

Decreasing trend in destructive potential of tropical cyclones in the South Indian Ocean since the mid-1990s

Communications Earth & Environment
Tropical cyclone activity often leads to many adverse impacts and assessing their destructiveness is a crucial scientific concern. Here we investigated changes in the destructiveness of tropical cyclones worldwide using the power dissipation index and ...

Wind forecast and prior community experience are associated with high preparedness for sequential tropical cyclones in the United States

Communications Earth & Environment
Sequential tropical cyclone events, in which two tropical cyclones make landfall in the same region within a short time, are becoming increasingly likely. Here we investigate community preparedness for six sequential tropical cyclone events in the United

Monitoring tropical cyclone intensity using wind fields derived from short-interval satellite images [PDF]

Rapid scan visible images from the Visible Infrared Spin Scan Radiometer sensor on board SMS-2 and GOES-1 were used to derive high resolution upper and lower tropospheric environmental wind fields around three western Atlantic tropical cyclones (1975-78).

Recent Studies on Changes in Track and Convection Associated with Tropical Cyclone Landfall

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2012
: As a tropical cyclone makes landfall, changes in friction and moisture as well as the presence of topography will modify the flow and subsequently the convection associated with the tropical cyclone. As a result, the distribution of potential vorticity

Strengthening tropical cyclones are associated with more frequent hazardous material pipeline failures in the Eastern US

Scientific Reports
Over 30,000 hazardous material pipeline (HMP) failures have caused nearly $11 billion in damages since 1970. Tropical cyclones, which cause more infrastructure damage than all other forms of natural disasters combined, are thought to be under-attributed ...
