Ecography, EarlyView.Where early successional forests are more flammable than old‐growth forests, forested landscapes are vulnerable to shifting into ‘fire traps' through positive feedbacks, where fire leads to more fire. These feedbacks are amplified by increased flammability driven by climate change, the presence of non‐native flammable plant species, and slowed ...

Tropical cyclones characteristic in southern Indonesia and the impact on extreme rainfall event
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 The southern region of Indonesia is one of the places where tropical cyclones grow in the southern hemisphere. During 1983-2017 there were 51 tropical cyclones occurring in the region. This study aims to understand the characteristic of tropical cyclones

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2021 The Gulf and southeast coastal communities in the United States are particularly vulnerable to tropical cyclones. Coastal areas generally receive the greatest economic losses from tropical cyclones; however, research suggests that losses in the inland ...

Subseasonal Predictability of Weekly Rainfall and Rainy Season Onset Over East Africa
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study evaluates the subseasonal predictability of weekly rainfall and rainy season onset over East Africa using the ECMWF extended range forecast model. Results show strong skill in forecasting weekly rainfall up to 4 weeks ahead, with higher accuracy during the March–May ‘long rains’ season.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Extreme Hourly Rainfall in the Hawaiian Islands
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The extreme rainfall trends in Hawaiʻi were revealed by hourly rainfall data: Across islands, Kauaʻi and Hawaiʻi Island had larger events at a return period. Annual maximum series of 15 gauges showed significant positive trends. While extreme rainfall trends show increases or decreases regionally, the trends varied with rainfall duration.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Extreme precipitation trends detected in Paraná, Southern Brazil (1983–2024), are strongly conditioned by the dataset used, with reanalyses indicating coherent inland drying and longer dry spells, observations retaining stronger mesoscale heterogeneity, and satellite products often showing declines in short‐duration extremes. Monthly diagnostics reveal

A New Refinement of Mediterranean Tropical‐Like Cyclones Characteristics
Geophysical Research LettersSeveral warm‐core cyclones in the Mediterranean, which were analyzed in the literature, are studied using ERA5 reanalysis, to identify the environment where they develop and distinguish tropical‐like cyclones from non‐tropical warm‐core cyclones ...
