Abstract: Tropical cyclones are highly destructive weather systems, especially in coastal areas. Tropical cyclones with maximum sustained winds exceeding 74 mph (≈119 kph) are classified as typhoons in the Northwest Pacific, whilst the term 'hurricanes' applies to other regions. This study aims to...

The future impacts of climate change on landfalling tropical cyclones are unclear. Regardless of this uncertainty, flooding by tropical cyclones will increase as a result of accelerated sea-level rise. Under similar rates of rapid sea-level rise during t
There are seven tropical cyclone basins worldwide, where tropical cyclones form on a regular basis (Figure 5.3). These are: Figure 5.3.Seven tropical areas worldwide in the ocean where tropical cyclones are generally found. These areas are commonly known asbasins. ...
Storm surge:A storm surge is an abnormal rise of sea level near the coast caused by a severe tropical cyclone; as a result, seawater inundates low lying areas of coastal regions drowning human beings and livestock, eroding agricultural land, beaches, and embankments, destroying vegetation and red...
Medicanes are considered rare phenomena, - the number of observed cases documented in the literature is around ten - but are associated to severe damage on coastal areas. Due to the scarcity of observations over sea, and to the coarse resolution of the long-term reanalysis datasets, it is ...
Rapid intensification of near-landfall tropical cyclones is very difficult to predict, and yet has far-reaching consequences due to their disastrous impact to the coastal areas. The focus for improving predictions of rapid intensification has so far been on environmental conditions. Here we use the ...
Coastal inundation associated with extreme sea levels is the main factor which leads to the loss of life and property whenever a severe tropical cyclonic storm hits the Indian coasts. The Andhra and Orissa coasts are most vulnerable for coastal inundation due to extreme rise in sea levels ...
These results can be attributed to increased natural disaster prevention and mitigation efforts by the Chinese government in recent years, and also reflect the rapid economic development in China particularly in TC-prone areas. 展开 关键词: Tropical cyclone Characteristics Impact China ...
