Evolution of Tropical Cyclone Characteristics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The long-term goals are to understand how variabilities in the large-scale atmospheric environment and the internal tropical cyclone structure influence tropical cyclone track and intensity characteristics and define how these influences differ between ...

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

open access: yesCommunications 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

A multimodel intercomparison study of variable‐resolution global models with grid refinement over the Arctic and Antarctic

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
We document the protocol and first results from the first ever coordinated multimodel variable‐resolution experiment set with refinement over the polar regions. We find that the refinement generally yields model‐dependent effects. The most consistent improvement is an amelioration of the upper‐level cold bias in the polar regions that translates into ...

Tropical cyclone activity in the western Pacific since the mid-Holocene exhibits a symmetrical pattern between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Tropical cyclones severely threaten human lives and property in affected regions, and exploring their past spatiotemporal variations is essential for risk assessment and disaster prevention. Here, we use storm-relocated coral blocks from Hainan Island as

Overview on the progress of Working Group on Meteorology of ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee in the recent 10 years

open access: yesTropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2019
This paper reviews the major achievements of the Working Group on Meteorology (WGM) of ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee since its establishment in 2004, especially in tropical cyclone observational research and scientific experiments, tropical cyclone ...

Exploiting Aeolus winds in a regional numerical weather prediction model

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Aeolus measured winds have proven to be beneficial for global models. However, demonstrating positive impact for limited‐area models has been a challenge so far. For the first time, we have demonstrated a statistically significant positive impact of Aeolus winds in a limited‐area model by using the 4DVar data assimilation technique and the most recent ...

open access: yes, 2018
This report is for Queensland agricultural producers and related industries as well as local and state governments interested in insurance options that mitigate the financial risks associated with cyclones.

Forecast‐Error Diagnostics in Neural Weather Models

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Deep learning weather prediction models enable efficient forecast‐error diagnostics through auto‐differentiation and low computational cost. We apply grid‐point relaxation and gradient‐based error sensitivity to identify key forecast‐error sources. Results show that medium‐range forecasts in the midlatitudes benefit most from relaxing the stratosphere ...

Impacts of hemispheric solar geoengineering on tropical cyclone frequency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Solar geoengineering refers to a range of proposed methods for counteracting global warming by artificially reducing sunlight at Earth’s surface. The most widely known SG proposal is stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) which has impacts analogous to ...

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

open access: yesScientific 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 ...
