However, how this resolution-induced intensity change is modulated by physical parameters that control the tropical cyclone genesis has not been thoroughly studied. To understand the problem, we conducted two sets of 300-member ensemble simulations using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (...
However, these legacy contaminants can also be “environmental time bombs” if they do get eroded because they will then also be re-introduced to the water column where they can be broadly dispersed and detrimentally impact ecosystems and the environment. Numerous published studies have addressed ...
They used to use the Greek alphabet when they ran out of names, but decided at a committee meeting in 2021 that practice would end. The reason: there is often too much focus on the Greek names — which can be hard to pronounce for some — and not on the actual impact of the storm....
The outer tropical cyclone (TC) size was extracted from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) fifth-generation global atmospheric reanalysis (ERA5), the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR), and the ECMWF Interim reanal...
Strong winds and heavy rain pound the countryside after Hurricane Ian made landfall in Cuba's Pinar del Rio province earlier, in Consulacion del Sur, Cuba, on Sept, 27, 2022.STRINGER / REUTERS "Rapid intensification happens when a tropical cyclone that already has some organization moves over...
II – The Impact of Climate Change While keeping the problem of climate change in mind it is very important to ask ourselves the question who will suffer the most? The simple answer is that it would be the poor nations who will suffer the most and even more so t...
weighing more than they did before starting the diet in the first place. People with this experience eventually try a different restrictive diet, but then get into the same cycle. This back-and-forth process is known as "yo-yo dieting," and it can pose even greater risks. Cycles of restr...
The Heat Is On! It will definitely feel like the "dog days of summer" for a good part of this week with our next mini heat wave making its way through the Garden State. Wednesday may be a record breaker as the actual temps will head towards triple digits which means it will be hot...
Thus, developing capability to deliver impact forecasting and risk-based warnings services in a multi (natural) hazard context. With a key focus on flood, fire and tropical cyclone, this paper reviews international and national warnings policy documents and social research and explores the evidence-...
Super typhoon Goni (locally known as super typhoon Rolly) is considered the strongest recorded tropical cyclone to ever make landfall and it hit the Philippines in November 2020, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic (Rocha et al., 2021). An estimated 68.8 million people were affected by ...
