    A North Atlantic synthetic tropical cyclone track, intensity, and rainfall dataset

    Tropical Cyclones (TCs) cause significant socio-economic damages to the US and Caribbean coastal regions annually, making it important to understand TC risk at the local-to-regional scales. However, the short ...

    A new method for predicting hurricane rapid intensification based on co-occurring environmental parameters

    Tropical cyclones (TCs) that undergo Rapid Intensification (RI) can pose serious socioeconomic threats and can potentially result in major damaging impacts along coastal areas. Considering the complexity of va...

    An oceanic pathway for Madden–Julian Oscillation influence on Maritime Continent Tropical Cyclones

    While the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) has been shown to affect tropical cyclones (TCs) worldwide through its modulation of large-scale circulation in the atmosphere, little or no role for the ocean has bee...

    Meridional oscillation in genesis location of tropical cyclones in the postmonsoon Bay of Bengal

    It is found that the average genesis location of tropical cyclones (TCs) in the postmonsoon (October–December) Bay of Bengal (BoB) shows a notable meridional oscillation during 1980–2015. During years when the...

    South Asian monsoon precipitation in CMIP5: a link between inter-model spread and the representations of tropical convection

    CMIP5 models exhibit a mean dry bias and a large inter-model spread in simulating South Asian monsoon precipitation but the origins of the bias and spread are not well understood. Using moisture and energy bud...

    Contribution of hurricane-induced sediment resuspension to coastal oxygen dynamics

    Hurricanes passing over the ocean can mix the water column down to great depths and resuspend massive volumes of sediments on the continental shelves. Consequently, organic carbon and reduced inorganic compoun...

    Global warming-induced upper-ocean freshening and the intensification of super typhoons

    Super typhoons (STYs), intense tropical cyclones of the western North Pacific, rank among the most destructive natural hazards globally. The violent winds of these storms induce deep mixing of the upper ocean,...

    More frequent intense and long-lived storms dominate the springtime trend in central US rainfall

    The changes in extreme rainfall associated with a warming climate have drawn significant attention in recent years. Mounting evidence shows that sub-daily convective rainfall extremes are increasing faster tha...

    Future hurricane storm surge risk for the U.S. gulf and Florida coasts based on projections of thermodynamic potential intensity

    Coastal populations in the global tropics and sub-tropics are vulnerable to the devastating impacts of hurricane storm surge and this risk is only expected to rise under climate change. In this study, we addre...
