Atlantic hurricanes and NW Pacific typhoons: ENSO spatial impacts on occurrence and landfall [PDF]

, 2000
Hurricanes are the United States' costliest natural disaster. Typhoons rank as the most expensive and deadly natural catastrophe affecting much of southeast Asia.

Unexpected limitation of tropical cyclone genesis by subsurface tropical central-north Pacific during El Niño

Nature Communications, 2022
The vast tropical Pacific is home to the majority of tropical cyclones (TCs) which threaten the rim countries every year. The TC genesis is nourished by warm sea surface temperatures (SSTs). During El Niño, the western Pacific warm pool extends eastward.

Identifying quasi-periodic variability using multivariate empirical mode decomposition: a case of the tropical Pacific [PDF]

Weather and Climate Dynamics, 2023
A variety of statistical tools have been used in climate science to gain a better understanding of the climate system's variability on various temporal and spatial scales. However, these tools are mostly linear, stationary, or both. In this study, we use

A change in the relationship between tropical central Pacific SST variability and the extratropical atmosphere around 1990

Environmental Research Letters, 2012
A newly released reanalysis dataset covering the period 1979–2009 is analyzed to show that the sea surface temperature (SST) variability in the tropical central Pacific is more closely related to the SST variability in the tropical eastern Pacific before

Regional service delivery among Pacific Island countries: an assessment [PDF]

, 2014
Experience with pooling service delivery among Pacific Island countries has not met the optimistic expectations of advocates, finds this study. Abstract Pacific Island countries face a range of development challenges, including smallness, distance from

Abrupt change in tropical Pacific climate mean state during the Little Ice Age

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The mean state of the tropical Pacific ocean-atmosphere climate, in particular its east-west asymmetry, has profound consequences for regional climates and for the El Niño/Southern Oscillation variability.

Decadal climate variability in the tropical Pacific: Characteristics, causes, predictability, and prospects

, 2021
International audienceClimate variability in the tropical Pacific affects global climate on a wide range of time scales. On interannual time scales, the tropical Pacific is home to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

Surveillance-response systems : the key to elimination of tropical diseases [PDF]

, 2014
Tropical diseases remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Although combined health efforts brought about significant improvements over the past 20 years, communities in resource-constrained settings lack the means of ...
