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

Practical rare event sampling for extreme mesoscale weather
, 2019 Extreme mesoscale weather, including tropical cyclones, squall lines, and floods, can be enormously damaging and yet challenging to simulate; hence, there is a pressing need for more efficient simulation strategies.

Impact of large-scale dynamic versus thermodynamic climate conditions on contrasting tropical cyclone genesis frequency [PDF]
, 2017 Significant advances have been made in understanding the key climate factors responsible for tropical cyclone (TC) activity, yet any theory that estimates likelihood of observed TC formation rates from mean climate states remains elusive.

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

The influence of an extended Atlantic hurricane season on inland flooding potential in the southeastern United States [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Recent tropical cyclones, like Hurricane Katrina, have been some of the worst the United States has experienced. Tropical cyclones are expected to intensify, bringing about 20 % more precipitation, in the near future in response to global climate warming.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Moisture transport by Atlantic tropical cyclones onto the North American continent [PDF]
, 2016 Tropical Cyclones (TCs) are an important source of freshwater for the North American continent. Many studies have tried to estimate this contribution by identifying TC-induced precipitation events, but few have explicitly diagnosed the moisture fluxes ...

On the meridional asymmetry of the poleward‐displaced intertropical convergence zone
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.We analyze the complex, asymmetrical dynamical structure of the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) in the East Pacific and Atlantic basins, seen during boreal summer, using a global, coupled storm‐resolving simulation. The equatorial pressure gradients lead to the acceleration of southerlies, which decelerate when the zonal flow becomes westerly ...

An analysis of hurricane seasons in the pre-HURDAT era (1751-1850) [PDF]
, 2011 An extensive database of the tracks of tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic Ocean since 1851 is known as the North Atlantic Hurricane Database (HURDAT).
