Tropical Cyclone Track Forecasting [PDF]
, 2018 Tropical cyclones are large-scale low-pressure systems that form over warm tropical and subtropical waters. These low-pressure systems are characterized by high-speed surface wind circulation, rotating spirals of thick clouds, heavy rain, and surges, the

Using the Debiased Brier Skill Score to Evaluate S2S Tropical Cyclone Forecasting
Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringTo 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 ...

How consistently do ensemble prediction systems represent the growth of atmospheric uncertainty?
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Spread‐based diagnostics calculated for 12 ensemble prediction systems are compared to understand the consistency with which they represent atmospheric uncertainty growth. Good correlation between all these systems is found in the extratropics for a lead time range from 48 hr to between 96 hr and 192 hr.

Sahara greening may have diminished mid-Holocene Atlantic tropical cyclones
Communications Earth & EnvironmentWhile anthropogenic warming is projected to green the Sahara region, the potential impacts on tropical cyclone remain poorly understood. Here we examine the mid-Holocene Sahara greening (characterized by expanded vegetation and reduced dust emissions) as

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study develops a method to identify the source areas of precipitation events, as illustrated for the western part of the Netherlands. Radar‐based precipitation data are traced back to their source areas and machine‐learning techniques are used to identify hypothesized causes: urban heat, surface roughness, and air pollution. We find that urban and

Vortex dynamics in the studies of looping in tropical cyclone tracks [PDF]
, 1997 This paper proposes criteria for predicting the tendency of looping in tropical cyclone tracks using the approach of vortex dynamics. We model the asymmetric structure of a cyclone by a system of vortex patches.

Diagnosing the 11‐year solar cycle's influence on the East Atlantic pattern
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.A previously unidentified solar‐cycle response in the East Atlantic pattern is found in late winter at lag +3 years with larger amplitude than the NAO response. A statistically significant NAO response to the solar cycle is seen in late winter at lag 0 years.
