Mangrove forests are now one of the worlds most threatened tropical ecosystems with more than 35% of the worlds mangroves already lost, in some regions cleared faster than the rate of rain forests. When mangrove, sea grass and salt marsh habitats are destroyed they are no lon...
Hurricane season in Hawaii runs June through November, although hurricanes and tropical storms are infrequent. No hurricane has made landfall on the Big Island in recorded history. Each time a hurricane has threatened, winds have subsided and it has been downgraded to a tropical storm prior to ...
Hurricanes have a history of intense tornado outbreaks It’s common for tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes to produce at least a couple of tornadoes whenever they make landfall. However, some storms are able to produce full-fledged tornado outbreaks...
Super Typhoon Mangkhut, which traversed the North Equatorial Current (NEC; 8–17 °N) in the western North Pacific in 2018, was the most intense Category-5 tropical cyclone (TC) with the longest duration in history—3.5 days. Here we show that the combination of two factors—high ocean ...

The suffering and economic losses caused by Hurricane Katrina and the parade of tropical storms and hurricanes that affected the United States in 2004鈥 2005 has energized global debate on the cause of anomalous hurricane activity and the extent to which such activity is in fact anomalous in the...
storms. In this case, the overabundance of wind shear helped pick up the slack in ingredients for what CAPE wasn’t there. Had energy levels been higher, we would have been looking at a considerably higher outlook and worse outcome. The storm system on January 15th and the quick following ...
October 2, 2022 (Day275):Hurricane Ian struck Florida as a major hurricane with 130-knot wind, rain, and a powerful storm surge that flooded low-lying and coastal areas around Ft. Myers on September 28. Hurricanes are judgments of the congregation and Right Man - Right Woman for violating...
To evaluate the influence of wave-current interactions on storm surge, we used a coupled ocean-atmospherewave- sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system with radiation-stress and vortex-force formulations to simulate two typically intense tropical storms that invaded the SCS, namely Typhoons Nuri (...
